How to include animated GIF in LaTeX / PDF

http://www.geogebra.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=25986

GeoGebra allows exporting animated  GIF images but does not export the Protocols of Construction, the ide of this post is how to include  GIF and animated Construction Protocols in LaTeX.
Animated GIF
For include animated  GIFs Need ImageMagick program and one  GIF animated, for this example we use the picture hypo_hypotrochoid_001.gif
 
from  viewtopic.php?f=2&t=25044&p=88364&hilit=animated+gif#p88364
Now follow steps
1. Create a directory called test and copy hypo_hypotrochoid_001.gif
2.The following is convert the image into separate files, we have two cases
a) For Latex users (latex>dvisps>ps2pdf) open a command prompt, move to the test directory and enter the following line

Code:

convert hypo_hypotrochoid_001.gif -coalesce animate_%d.eps

then create the directory imgeps and copy ALL pictures in this.
b) For pdfLatex users (xelatex,lualatex) open a command prompt, move to the test directory and enter the following line

Code:

convert hypo_hypotrochoid_001.gif -coalesce animate_%d.pdf

then create the directory imgpdf and copy ALL pictures in this.
With this we have completed the process of conversion of images, we can now create your TEX file
3.We create a tex file and add the following lines into the preamble

Code:

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{animate}

4. And the body of the document add the line 
a)For LaTeX

Code:

\animategraphics[height=2.8in,autoplay,controls]{12}{imgeps/animate_}{0}{120}

v)For pdfLaTeX

Code:

\animategraphics[height=2.8in,autoplay,controls]{12}{imgpdf/animate_}{0}{120}

Compiled and finish, we have a PDF with an animated image.

Construction
To animated construction step we use the environment animateinline, this environment allows separate figure for steps, this will use the \newframe, the idea goes like this, we create our figure with GeoGebra and export, depending on the situation we have to add different lines.
1. Pstricks

Code:

\begin{animateinline}[
begin={\begin{pspicture*}(...,...)(...,...)},
end={\end{pspicture*}},
controls,autoplay,timeline=time1.txt]{1}
\psset{...}
\code
\newframe
\code
\newframe
...
\end{animateinline}

2. PGF/TiKZ

Code:

\begin{animateinline}[
begin={
\begin{tikzpicture}[...]
\clip(...,...)  rectangle (...,...);
},
end={\end{tikzpicture}},
controls,timeline=time2.txt]{1}
\code
\newframe
\code
\newframe
...
\end{animateinline}

Now we must create the "timeline", this is a file containing the order and time of the transparencies, the amount of overhead this ity in the amount of \newframe which is used, this file has the following form

Code:

::0x0
::1x0
::2x0
::3x0
::4x0
::5x0

To fully understand how it works you should read the documentation of animate ( texdoc animate for TeXLive) 
Compressed file attached two examples pstanimate.pdf and tikzanimate.pdf
Hope this helps for users of GeoGebra and LaTeX
