#2 Use gif from memory + cpp wrapper

[Loďc Ploumen]

It would be great if the new version could contains
these features :

• Load a gif from raw data in memory, instead of a file
  and dump data to a file when needed. This is usefull
  for slow systems where disk read/write slow down even
  more the system.

• A c++ wrapper could be intereting too, giving user to
  create gif from a file/memory/create a blank gif ,
  accesing pixels value by overloading
  operator()(int,int) for example...

Gif from data to memory interface is now on the list for
libungif5.

C++ Wrapper is going to get a more tentative. Not sure how
much work it's going to be. And I haven't yet determined
where the interface is going to go. The libungif4
interface is basically the same as Gershon first created for
DOS. I need to look at libpng and other graphics libraries
to determine if there's a different way of coding the
interface that would be easier to use and reveal more
features about the library.

how does what you want differ from the functionality
provided by EGifSpew? It seems you could allocate a
GifFileType object and fill it with your data. Then
EGifSpew it back out....

abadger is right, EGifSpew() already supplies most of this. Likely the submitter figured this out, as the FR hasn't been updated in 8 years. Closing it.
