The gdk-pixbuf library provides a simple mechanism to load and represent
    animations. An animation is conceptually a series of frames to be displayed
    over time. Each frame is the same size. 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 don't need to understand its representation, however; you just
    ask gdk-pixbuf what should be displayed at a given point in time.References
