The package anim.plots behaves like a sort of user-friendly shell on top of animate that makes animations of some of the most common types of plots in base R in a more intuitive fashion that animate.
This package depends on two other important packages:
- magick, which is an R implementation of imageMagick, which itself is software used to create animated gifs from still images.
- animation, which is an R library that can be used to create animations from any collection of plots.
