==========
![](https://i.imgur.com/m5rQtBI.gif)
The above *.gif* shows a snapshot taken by my computer at 12:00 for a large number of days of the year. The below *.gif* shows a snapshot taken by my computer every five minutes on the 22/02/2022:

### To create such a *.gif* in Linux
**a. Create a script to take a photo from your webcam:**
```
## Defs
panopticonDir="~/.panopticon"
selfiesDir="$panopticonDir/selfies"
today="$(date +"%Y%m%d")"
timeNow="$(date +"%H%M%S")"
## Init
mkdir -p "$selfiesDir/$today"
## Selfies
selfieFileName="webcam_$timeNow.jpg"
/usr/bin/fswebcam -r 1280x720 "$selfiesDir/$today/$selfieFileName"
# ^ works with pipewire
```
**b. Call the script from within crontab**
Call
```
$ sudo crontab -e
```
and then paste:
```
*/5 * * * * /home/loki/.panopticon/shoot.sh
```
**c. Put it all together into a gif**
One gif from snapshots taken at 12:00.
```
summary_dir="~/.panopticon/summary-12"
mkdir summary_dir
for dir in ~/.panopticon/*/ ; do
if [[ -d "$dir" && ! -L "$dir" ]]; then
echo "Entering $dir";
dirname_raw="$(echo "$dir" | sed 's#/##')"
temp_photo_name="$(echo $dirname_raw/webcam_1200*)"
echo "$temp_photo_name"
cp $temp_photo_name temp.jpg
mv temp.jpg $summary_dir/$dirname_raw.jpg
fi;
done
convert -delay 10 -loop 0 $summary_dir/*.jpg 12.gif
```
One for each day with something like:
```
for dir in */ ; do
if [[ -d "$dir" && ! -L "$dir" ]]; then
echo "Entering $dir";
dirname_raw="$(echo "$dir" | sed 's#/##')"
convert -delay 10 -loop 0 $dirname_raw/*.jpg daily-gifs/$dirname_raw.gif
echo "Created daily_gifs/$dirname_raw"
fi;
done
```
