Here's another revision of the Gource visualization - I think this is the last one:

So it appears that the > visualization is not entirely faithful (I think it's not to worry about). ... I double-checked things & discovered that Benoit very much had a point. The gource animations take some time and that *partly* explains the lag, but when I rechecked the settings I realized they produced a *big* lag. Here's a quick explanation of what I fixed. I wanted the visualization to be a short video, not a movie, so I use: seconds-per-day=0.01 That's fine by itself, but I originally had this as a setting: max-file-lag=1 This meant that a new file's display in the visualization could be delayed by up to 100 days, and that was the problem. I set them to match: max-file-lag=0.01 and regenerated the video. The "appearance" video takes time, but it starts on time & I think it more accurately visualizes the data. If you look at the video you'll see that every second is actually 50 days, not 100. I generate the videos at 60 fps (the default), then encode them at 30 fps. That way, I see the videos in half the time. I do this because every time I tweak a configuration I need to regenerate it & see it; double-speed generation makes my process faster. I've seen a *lot* of versions of this video :-). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Metamath" group.
