Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ tikZ | Inclusion of animated GIF Image

[Tyrion]

Hello,
first post!

I'm trying to put an animated GIF into a bounding box generated by tikZ but the image is always positioned outside the box. If I use the \includegraphics command the image has the right positioning.
Here's a my code.
Can anybody help me solve this problem?

Code: Select all

\documentclass[t]{beamer}
\usepackage{animate}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{shapes}
\tikzstyle{mybox} = [draw=blue, fill=white!20, very thick,
    rectangle, rounded corners, inner sep=10pt, inner ysep=10pt]
\begin{document}
\frame{
\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture, overlay]
\node at (current page.center) [mybox,below right,xshift=-6cm,yshift=0cm] (box_1){
\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
\animategraphics[autoplay,loop,width=0.4\textwidth]{3}{img_}{0}{7}
\end{minipage}
};
\end{tikzpicture}
}
 
\end{document}

Hi Tyrion,

welcome to the board!

Perhaps post test images if the correct size here, as attachment to a post, since without images we cannot test the animation to verify the problem. If we take just any other images, it's probably not the same situation.

Hi Stefan_K,
and thank you for the quick reply. I can't post the original images I am using for confidentiality reason, but it should work with any image named img_0.eps, and then change the following line to include only one frame

Code: Select all

\animategraphics[autoplay,loop,width=0.4\textwidth]{3}{img_}{0}{0}

I forgot to mention that I'm under Kile and using XeLaTeX but I don't know if this is relevant.

That's why I said test images I meant dummy images of the same size which may cause such a problem. I just don't have an .eps image here, I usually work with pdfLaTeX.

ok,
here's a test image. I hope it helps

[Stefan Kottwitz]

When I tested this image, and this code, it's in the box. I just made it smaller (factor 0.2) to not exceed the frame height. Did you make the same test, with this dummy image?

Code: Select all

\documentclass[t]{beamer}
\usepackage{animate}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{shapes}
\tikzstyle{mybox} = [draw=blue, fill=white!20, very thick,
    rectangle, rounded corners, inner sep=10pt, inner ysep=10pt]
\begin{document}
\frame{
\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture, overlay]
\node at (current page.center) [mybox,below right,xshift=-6cm,yshift=0cm] (box_1){
\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
\animategraphics[autoplay,loop,width=0.2\textwidth]{3}{img_}{0}{0}
\end{minipage}
};
\end{tikzpicture}
}
\end{document}

I'm using the exact same code and getting this instead

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Which engine did you use? I tested with XeLaTeX.

I'm using XeLaTeX too, under Kile with default configuration meaning:
Tool : xelatex
Configuration : -interaction=nonstopmode '%source'

Should I add anything else?

Does your .log file print any warning? Perhaps add the .log file as attachment.
