As inspired by a question from @mattijn. Could VlConvert export videos or GIFs of charts?
Here's an idea:
Input:
Vega(-Lite) spec
signal/param name
start value, stop value, step
VlConvert would render the spec, then sweep through the signal values, exporting each frame to an SVG, then use resvg to convert each frame to a PNG, then convert these PNG frames to GIF / MP4.
Question for @jonathanzong or @joshpoll. For the Vega specs that will be produced by Vega-Lite with animation support in the future, will there be a top-level time signal that can be advanced programmatically like view.signal('time', 0.0), view.signal('time', 0.1), etc.? Will it be possible to look at a Vega spec and automatically determine the appropriate start, stop, and step time values?
I want to make sure than any approach we come up with for exporting Vega charts to videos works well with the future Vega-Lite architecture.

The Rust
image
crate supports a GIF encoder (https://docs.rs/image/latest/image/codecs/gif/struct.GifEncoder.html). And it looks like there is an mp4 crate as well: https://github.com/alfg/mp4-rustThe text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
