Help on module gif:
NAME
gif
DESCRIPTION
Byte-level GIF library.
The goal is to interface with the GIF format rather than edit the images,
therefore each class has generally public attributes and is intended to be
used as a struct. However, some quick functions are included due to the
relative efficiency.
Two command-line invocations are provided:
* gif.py test <file.gif>
This decompresses and recompresses the image to test the module.
* gif.py optimize <input.gif> <output.gif>
This compresses the image by removing extra colors and blocks.
