Animation Maker Licensing Plugin

         Leverage the Animation Maker Licensing Plugin to easily generate animations from your images. In the provided Java code example below, we initiate the configuration of Metered license settings. By employing the `setMeteredKey()` method, we enable the animation-making functionality by supplying the public and private keys. It's important to note that utilizing unlicensed features of the Aspose.Imaging graphic library for Java will result in a watermark appearing on the output images.

         You can create animations from various image files in different formats from the supported image formats list. These images can seamlessly be incorporated into the output file, such as an animated GIF format. You maintain full control over animation parameters, enabling you to define the desired frame duration and overall duration. Before saving the animated GIF file to the output, loaded images can be effortlessly added using the addPage() method of the `GifImage` class.
