# Examples

    use image::gif::{Decoder, Encoder};
    use image::{ImageDecoder, AnimationDecoder};
    use std::fs::File;
    // Decode a gif into frames
    let file_in = File::open("foo.gif")?;
    let mut decoder = Decoder::new(file_in).unwrap();
    let frames = decoder.into_frames();
    let frames = frames.collect_frames().expect("error decoding gif");

    // Encode frames into a gif and save to a file
    let mut file_out = File::open("out.gif")?;
    let mut encoder = Encoder::new(file_out);
    encoder.encode_frames(frames.into_iter());

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g., `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g., `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g., `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
