Free animated butterflies software for linux

Animated Counter provides a nice animated counter.

Each time when a page is reloaded the counter increases the digits "live".

Animated Gallery is a GIMP plugin that creates an animated gallery by overlaying multiple animations frame-by-frame onto the current image background and saving the resulting combined images.

Written using python-fu and gimp 2.2.3

The purpose of the plug-in is to create an animated gallery (e.g for a DVD menu) by overlaying up to 5 animations frame-by-frame onto the current image background and then flattening and saving the combined frames.

The script takes parameters giving the filenames of the first frame of each source animation (or "OFF" to disable a feed). The frames themselves should be sequentially numbered (e.g. frame_000123.jpg). It should work with all image types the gimp can load (tested with .jpg and .ppm). Note that if a frame is missing in an animation, the previous one is repeated.

I have included an option for rounding the corners of the source frames (using the script-fu rounded rectangle function). If you want other similar functionality (e.g. fade to black at sequence end) I would recommend you to have a look at the source code - python is very easy to learn, and the script is fairly well documented.

Usage:
In order to make a DVD menu with animated chapter images, you would normally merge a number of short animated frame sequences(one per chapter), shrunk down to say 80 pixels high, onto a 720x576 background image (for 4:3 PAL). Obviously you should create all the static parts of the menu (text, drop shadows, button outlines etc) on the background image prior to calling the script. A suitable example background template is provided on the gimp plug-ins registry page for the project.

In order to create an actual DVD menu, you will of course need to use an authoring tool such as the excellent and highly flexible dvdauthor package (make sure you use at least version 0.6.11 however, as previous ones have a problem with spumux not correctly recognising transparent bitmaps). There is a very good HowTo at http://mightylegends.zapto.org/dvd/dvdauthor_howto.php

Installation:
Download the script to the .gimp-2.2/plug-ins/ directory (or equivalent) under your home directory; make it executable (chmod +x animated_gallery.py) and restart the gimp. It should appear as an option under the python-fu -> alchemy menu.

Image Viewer is an image viewer with real-time interactive pan and zoom viewing that uses the GTK+ toolkit and Imlib (or Imlib2).
Image Viewer can open and save to any image format supported by Imlib, rectangular crop, grab the screen, print, and display on the root window.
Main features:
- View
- Convert
- Grab (Screenshot)
- Print
- Rotate
- Crop
- Resize
- Display on Desktop
Enhancements:
- A bug was fixed in the saving of animated GIF images in which looping was not an option.
- The disposal method support for GIF images was improved.

JImage-Analyst is a JAVA based library for extracting meta information from various image file formats.
Main features:
- Supported Image formats: BMP, CUR, GIF, ICO, IFF, JPEG, PCX, PNG, PNM (PBM, PGM, PPM), PSD, RAS, SWF, TGA, TIFF, XCF
- The following information are available:
- The format
- The mime type
- Dimension (width / height)
- Physical width and height (in DPI and inch)
- Bits per pixel
- Whether the image is progressive
- Comments from the image (such as in JPEG files)
- Number of images (such as with animated GIFs)
- High speed and low memory consumption
- No dependencies on 3rd party libraries
- No dependencies on AWT classes
- An architecture that allows to ass further formats very easily
Examples:
File file = new File("test.gif");
JImageAnalyst analyst = JImageAnalystFactory.getDefaultInstance();
ImageInfo imageInfo = analyst.analyze(file);
System.out.println("Format: " + imageInfo.getFormat());
System.out.println("MIME-Type: " + imageInfo.getMimeType());
System.out.println("Width: " + imageInfo.getWidth());
System.out.println("Height: " + imageInfo.getHeight());
System.out.println("BitsPerPixel: " + imageInfo.getBitsPerPixel());
// ... more information is available in imageInfo ...

KDE DVD Authoring Wizard will allow you to create a DVD from one or more DVD compatible MPEG-2 files. All you need to do is add one or multiple files to the playlist and answer the questions that follow.
You can add a menu that will contain animated thumbnails of the files in the playlist. Creating a menu is optional.
Main features:
- Playlist editor
- DVD menu with multiple pages
- Animated thumbnails in the menu
- Customizable menu graphics
- Add soundtrack from OGG or MP3
- Antialiased graphics prevent flickering on TV
- Both Widescreen and standard 4:3 support
- ISO DVD Image creation

One-Wire Weather is a client program for Dallas Semiconductor / AAG 1-wire weather station kits, providing a graphical (animated) display to monitor outside temperature, wind speed and direction, rainfall, and humidity.
Extra temperature sensors may be added. A 1-wire "hub" may be used for improved reliability and range. Weather data may be logged to CSV files, parsed to command line programs, sent to the Henriksen Windows client, or uploaded to Web servers at Dallas, The Weather Underground, and HAMweather.
Enhancements:
- Changes to libusb calls, to operate correctly with recent Linux kernels.
- Added facility for waveform slew/timing adjustment for DS2490.
- Locale now set to POSIX when creating output for wunderground, &c - so you can log e.g. with comma as decimal separator, but wunderground gets a full stop.
- Rain from a remote source is integrated for upload (but please could people check if this works for you).
- Initial support for DS2760 - e.g. AAG TAI8560 thermocouple adapter (but the thermocouple Voltage isnt interpreted yet).
- Added facility for placing control characters in parser strings, as C-style escape sequences.
- Added dailyrain statistic for wunderground uploads, &c.
- Implemented rapid update for wunderground.

RasterImageManipulator is a free program for image processing and fractal exploration. It has many features for customizing the appearance of fractal images.
These include special filters, a palette editor, gradient palette creator, and animated palette cycling.
Enhancements:
- The fractal buffer handling was cleaned up, and support for animated GIF export was added to the color cycling component.
- Build issues with Java 1.5 were fixed.

This program will help you to view network activity on your network device such as eth0, ppp0 and so on.

It put animated, graduated, icons near the KDE tray.
