GIFs standard is awesome, it is that most of the software does them wrong. To recap: You can update multiple rectangles each with 0ms delay. Issue is that most browsers don't like dealing with 0ms updates, and will consider rectangle update a frame update. Some browsers will silently increase delays. [1] You can pause once all necessary rectangles for frame have been updated. [2] You can have full colour image provided that it is built from multiple rectangle updates, where each rectangle contains its own colour map.
