Provides an example of how to create a gif using:
flair --> xaringan + pagedown --> magick
- flair for the code highlighting
- xaringan for the slides
- pagedown to convert the html slides into pdf
- magick to convert the pdf into images, crop images, and then stitch them together into a gif
Steps:
- Create slides (e.g. "xaringan-slides-example.Rmd")
- Render slides into a gif (e.g. "render-gif.R")
Example of resulting output:
Improved method:
I posted an easier approach (largely superseding this one) that uses:
flipbookr --> pagedown --> magick to create types of gifs in a way that does not require nearly as much copying and pasting of code brshallo/flipbookr-gifs-examples.
