Handling Animated Image Files {#tutorial_animations}

Goal
----
In this tutorial, you will learn how to:
- Use `cv::imreadanimation` to load frames from animated image files.
- Understand the structure and parameters of the `cv::Animation` structure.
- Display individual frames from an animation.
- Use `cv::imwriteanimation` to write `cv::Animation` to a file.

Explanation
-----------
## Initializing the Animation Structure
Initialize a `cv::Animation` structure to hold the frames from the animated image file.
@add_toggle_cpp
@snippet cpp/tutorial_code/imgcodecs/animations.cpp init_animation
@end_toggle
@add_toggle_python
@snippet python/tutorial_code/imgcodecs/animations.py init_animation
@end_toggle
## Loading Frames
Use `cv::imreadanimation` to load frames from the specified file. Here, we load all frames from an animated WebP image.
@add_toggle_cpp
@snippet cpp/tutorial_code/imgcodecs/animations.cpp read_animation
@end_toggle
@add_toggle_python
@snippet python/tutorial_code/imgcodecs/animations.py read_animation
@end_toggle
## Displaying Frames
Each frame in the `animation.frames` vector can be displayed as a standalone image. This loop iterates through each frame, displaying it in a window with a short delay to simulate the animation.
> **Note:** Frame durations in `cv::Animation` are expressed in milliseconds.
> When displaying frames manually using `cv::waitKey`, make sure to use the corresponding duration value to preserve the original animation timing.
@add_toggle_cpp
@snippet cpp/tutorial_code/imgcodecs/animations.cpp show_animation
@end_toggle
@add_toggle_python
@snippet python/tutorial_code/imgcodecs/animations.py show_animation
@end_toggle
## Saving Animation
@add_toggle_cpp
@snippet cpp/tutorial_code/imgcodecs/animations.cpp write_animation
@end_toggle
@add_toggle_python
@snippet python/tutorial_code/imgcodecs/animations.py write_animation
@end_toggle
## Summary
The `cv::imreadanimation` and `cv::imwriteanimation` functions make it easy to work with animated image files by loading frames into a `cv::Animation` structure, allowing frame-by-frame processing.
With these functions, you can load, process, and save frames from animated image files like GIF, AVIF, APNG, and WebP.
