How to create such GIFs?

The GIF shown above has been created with the tool LICEcap. It provides a easy and comfortable way for screencasting and diretcly saving it as GIFs.
LICEcap is available for both MacOS and Windows. An alternative for Linux is peek. A more powerful tool with more features is ScreencastToGif.

In the following, it is described how to create a short GIF with LICEcap:

1. open LICEcap and select the area of your screen to be recorded by changing the size of the LICEcap window.
   Within the black box you can see which area will be recorded by LICEcap.
