esmini-visualiser

A tool which uses the esmini OpenSCENARIO player to generate video visualisations of scenarios

This container creates an Xvfb virtual display, executes Esmini which renders to the virtual display and uses avconv to record from the virtual display to a gif

Render and recording is done at 320x240
