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.

pip install geogif

See https://geogif.readthedocs.io/en/latest/.

GeoGIF is managed by Poetry, so be sure that's installed first. To develop locally, first fork or clone the repo. Then, to set up a virtual environment and install the necessary dependencies:

cd geogif
poetry install

GeoGIF has some basic end-to-end tests, written with Hypothesis. To run:

pytest

This will take ~30 seconds (longer the first time), as Hypothesis generates fake data to root out possible errors.

GeoGIF is formatted with shed, in order to allow for as few opinions as possible.
