Hi, I have the following problem:

I'd like to present some calculations in a sage notebook. At one point I'd like to show an animation, but unfortunately it takes some time until the .show() command plots it. I also do not like to have the animation wiggling araound while I'm presenting the other things before. Hiding the output also doesn't help because I want that it really starts from the beginning on my click and not soemwhere in between.

Is there a possibility to load a saved gif animation? Otherwise is is still possible to open the animation in new window, but it would be neat to have the animation inside the notebook.

Save the animation

frames = [... list of your frames ...]
M = animate(frames)
M.save(DATA+'movie.gif')

(Or upload the gif with the data menu)

Now you can use a html cell with an link to your gif.

%html
<a href="data/movie.gif">animation</a>

Thanks! I also tried to create a link to the gif in my home folder but somehow I din't achiev this. Saving the gif in the DATA folder finnaly solves the problem.

@ndomes: Super-cool! Can you find an appropriate place to add this to the documentation (perhaps in the animate module) to mention this as a great idea? I like the idea of using the html cell to keep it hidden.
