Make Timelapse from Stream Object

Generates a timelapse sequence from a Stream object with a given duration and interval between images.

Usage

timelapse(x, outputFolder, interval = 1, duration = Inf, format = "png")

Arguments

x

The Stream object to use.

outputFolder

The path to the folder where the timelapse images will be saved. If it does not exist, it will be created. Note: the function will overwrite files present in this folder if they have the same names as the timelapse images.

interval

The interval in seconds between two successive images (default: 1).

duration

The duration in seconds of the timelapse. If infinite (the default), the timelapse will run until the user interrupts the function manually.

Value

outputFolder.
