MEDM Animated GIF Not Displaying?

["Poff, Mark A" <mark.a.poff@boeing.com>]

Hello,

 

I’m creating some MEDM displays for our EPICS installation on a Linux platform.  I’d like to put some animated GIFs on the displays, so I created some 3-frame animations using the UnFREEz application in Windows 7.  When I try to add an animated GIF to a display I get the message “parseGIFImage:  Cannot currently handle local color table.  Using global table”, and all I see on the display is a black rectangle.  This leads to two questions:  (1) Is that message an error, or just informational?  (2) While editing the display, should I see one of the frames of the GIF animation, or is it normal to just see a black rectangle?  (I’m not currently able to run the display against actual data - I can only look at it in edit mode.)

 

Thanks!

Mark
