Hi, I get an error when trying to animate the GIF. I'm using the pre-compiled Linux version, and this is the error message I get.

Code: Select all

convert: attempt to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy `PS' @ error/constitute.c/IsCoderAuthorized/408.
convert: no images defined `concplot.gif' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3258.

The error message shows an issuing running convert which is a utility in ImageMagick. It seems the convert utility was blocked for security reasons. Please check with your IT for this issue. Or it may relate to the ImageMagick security policy. You can search online and find some discussions and possible solutions about this.
