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.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing image and video display implementations in visdom's JavaScript and Python code. Understand how media files are served and rendered. Then implement a similar approach for GIFs, ensuring they animate properly in the browser. Update any relevant server side endpoints or frontend components as needed.
