Description

For vision problems with multiple outputs, GIFs are the natural way for researchers to compare the results or to track progress. Would be great to have them displayable in visdom.

Images and videos are great, but GIFs are fundamentally different. I tried using the video API but it doesn't feel as nice as having native GIF support.

Research direction
Investigate how visdom currently handles images and videos in the frontend. Look at the existing image and video display components (likely in JavaScript) to understand the pattern for adding GIF support. Determine if an existing library can be used for GIF rendering. Check comments for any additional requirements from the maintainer.
