For instance, a developer seeking to create a square blue box 500 pixels on a side could use a separate blue 500×500 graphic at the expense of additional ...

Speed lines can also be applied to characters as a way to emphasize the motion of their bodies [D 3]: 14 (limbs in particular). This style, especially background blurs, extends into most action based anime as well.

WebP is a raster graphics file format developed by Google intended as a replacement for JPEG, PNG, and GIF file formats. It supports both lossy and lossless compression, [8] as well as animation and alpha transparency.
GIF animation of an Apollonian sphere packing with transparent background. Transparency in computer graphics is possible in a number of file formats.The term "transparency" is used in various ways by different people, but at its simplest there is "full transparency" i.e. something that is completely invisible.
Barrier-grid animation or picket-fence animation is an animation effect created by moving a striped transparent overlay across an interlaced image. The barrier-grid technique originated in the late 1890s, overlapping with the development of parallax stereography (Relièphographie) for 3D autostereograms. The technique has also been used for ...
A throbber animation like that seen on many websites when a blocking action is being performed in the background. A throbber, also known as a loading icon, is an animated graphical control element used to show that a computer program is performing an action in the background (such as downloading content, conducting intensive calculations or communicating with an external device).
Animated Portable Network Graphics (APNG) is a file format which extends the Portable Network Graphics (PNG) specification to permit animated images that work similarly to animated GIF files, while supporting 24 or 48-bit images and full alpha transparency not available for GIFs. It also retains backward compatibility with non-animated PNG files.
