gganimate (version 1.0.2)

gganimate-package: gganimate: A Grammar of Animated Graphics

Description

The grammar of graphics as implemented in the 'ggplot2' package has been successful in providing a powerful API for creating static visualisation. In order to extend the API for animated graphics this package provides a completely new set of grammar, fully compatible with 'ggplot2' for specifying transitions and animations in a flexible and extensible way.

Arguments

Good starting points

The animate() function documentation describes how to specify how the animation is rendered, whereas the documentation for the different transition functions, e.g. transition_states(), describe how to declare the animation.

Both ease_aes() and the different enter and exit functions are good to understand in order to modify tweening of the animation.

Apart from the included documentation there is also a few web ressources worth mentioning:

  • The gganimate wiki includes user supplied example walkthroughs

  • The learngganimate project by rOpenSci Labs includes a long range of detailed explorations of the different gganimate functions
