Coincidentally I released an experimental graph animation video using graph-tool for rendering and ffmpeg for conversion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TywrMtBcgeI

The technique works well for engaging data visualization, although the code is somewhat tedious.

Are the ImageMagick commands included in your Python module? I took a look and didn't see a way to create the GIF. (EDIT: found it; it is the gif() function in render.py. I am dumb)

No, I am dumb and should comment the code (and provide few usage examples). I wrote it in a hurry yesterday night, it was just an hack and it ended up on the frontpage of HN.

You are not dumb. Releasing un-commented code that works is still releasing code that works.

This actually solves a problem I was having. Thanks for sharing it.

Bravo

No, you are awesome. Thank you!

I'm flattered (and blushing) :-)

Anyone who puts up something so useful on GitHub and is so nice as to apologise for not commenting their code is pretty awesome and deserves to be thanked. Honestly, showing you my appreciation is the very least I can do. Keep being great!

:-)
