At this time, one can only export animated gifs using the desktop version of jugglinglab from https://jugglinglab.org.

Jugglinglab pattern string:

<R|L><3 [3xp/3] 3 2 | 3 2 3 [3xp/3] >

The prefix <R|L> is necessary to make jugglers start with the correct hands so that the multiplex throws go to the "inner" hands that are between the two jugglers. Changing hand order then makes it necessary to write 3xp instead of 3p and writing 3xp as one of the throws makes it necessary to insert the throw separator / into the multiplex throw (If the multiplex was two self throws, one could simple write [33])

The "body movement" string used was:

<(0,-50).|(0,50).>

.

Entries inside the round brackets are (rotation angle, posx, posy, posz) - missing values will be filled with 0. So this means both jugglers directly face the camera (this also needs a url option, because default passing camera position is a bit off the side to the default camera position), one juggler is -50 units from the center, the other is 50 units from the center. The "." means that they have this position for one beat - and as there is only one beat repeating that means they permanently are in this position.

Additional URL options:

colors=orbits;

balls are colored according to their orbit (way through the pattern)

slowdown=5;

show pattern at a fifth of the normal speed.

camangle=(0,90);

Put camera at default position, directly facing the jugglers.

The resulting exported animated gif was converted to a negated image with dark background using imagemagick:
