Turn xarray timestacks into GIFs with python

GeoGIF

Make GIFs from time-stacked xarray.DataArrays (time, [optional band], y, x), dead-simple.

from geogif import gif, dgif
gif(data_array)
dgif(dask_data_array).compute()

The “geo” part is a lie, actually. The arrays don’t have to be geospatial in nature. But I called it GeoGIF because:

1. Wanting to animate a time-stack of imagery (like you’d get from stackstac) is a common task in the earth-observation/geospatial world.
2. I think GeoGIF is a hilarious idea¹.

1: To ruin the joke, it sounds like GeoTIFF, a ubiquitous geospatial image format. If you also think this is a funny idea, and believe you’d have a better use for the name than I do, I’d happily cede it to you.

Installation

pip install geogif
