Animated GIF Metadata

[macdonag]

Hi

I'm trying to access the metadata within an animated gif.  I need the individual frames so I can extract them as sprites.  I'm also interested in the frame times if that's accessible.

I've used an ImageReader to get individual frames, but when I call ImageReader.read(frameIdx) I get the differences in a transparent bitmap.  I'd like the composed frame, as ImageIcon renders it (if I just stick the gif anim in there directly).  I'm wondering how to either get the composed frame or the meta data that describes it.

Cheers,
