Org-inline-anim plays animated GIF or PNG inline in Org buffers.
You can install org-inline-anim from MELPA. For manual installation, download org-inline-anim.el into somewhere in your local directory and install it with M-x package-install-file.
Enable this feature in an Org buffer with M-x org-inline-anim-mode. Add the following line to your init file to automatically enable the feature in newly opened Org buffers.
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook #'org-inline-anim-mode)You can play an animation by M-x org-inline-anim-animate (or C-c C-x m) when the point is on the image. If you use Org-babel and a result block has an animation image, the command works also in the result block or in the source block that generated the result block.
Without a prefix, the animation will play only once and stop at the last frame. With a single prefix (C-u), the animation will play and loop. You can stop it with a double prefix (C-u C-u) or a numeric arg 0 (C-u 0 or C-0). The former shows the last frame after playback is stopped. The latter shows the first frame instead.
M-x org-inline-anim-animate-all (or C-c C-x M) plays all the animatable images in the buffer at once. The same prefix arguments above works for this command too.
If you prefer to loop the animation by default, set org-inline-anim-loop to non-nil. Then with a single prefix, the animation will play only once without looping.
