+Example to extract the frames and other parameters from an animated gif
+and then run the animation on the display.
+
+Usage:
+python3 rgb_display_pillow_animated_gif.py
+
+This example is for use on (Linux) computers that are using CPython with
+Adafruit Blinka to support CircuitPython libraries. CircuitPython does
+not support PIL/pillow (python imaging library)!
