The gdk-pixbuf:pixbuf library provides a simple mechanism to load and represent animations. An animation is conceptually a series of frames to be displayed over time. The animation may not be represented as a series of frames internally. For example, it may be stored as a sprite and instructions for moving the sprite around a background. To display an animation you do not need to understand its representation, however. You just ask the gdk-pixbuf:pixbuf object what should be displayed at a given point in time.
