Creare un file immagine GIF con sfondo colorato mediante le funzioni del API di GIFLIB

Da Gambas-it.org - Wikipedia.

Come si sa, salvare un'immagine in un file di formato .GIF (Graphics Interchange Format), in Gambas non è attualmente possibile. Gambas possiede, sì, risorse per caricare file immagine di tipo .gif, ma non per salvarle.

Un aiuto, però, per la generazione di file immagine di tipo GIF può giungerci dalle risorse della libreria GifLib, scritta da Eric Steven Raymond, la quale consente di caricare, gestire, manipolare, creare ex novo e salvare file immagine in fomato GIF.

Per poter utilizzare al meglio le risorse della libreria GifLib con Gambas, suggeriamo di utilizzare la relativa libreria condivisa: "libgif.so.7.1.0 "

Mostriamo di seguito un breve esempio per generare ex novo un semplice file immagine di tipo GIF, di dimensioni 400 pixel * 200 pixel e sfondo arancione.
