Getting Started with Animations in R (304148)

*Jonathan Kane Storey, Mississippi State University Institute for Systems Engineering Research 

Keywords: R, animation, data visualization, programming

Animations can convey information that a static image is incapable of communicating. The R language contains many excellent libraries for plotting data, and with a little work, these plots can be turned into animations. This presentation will provide a pipeline for creating animations in R with many examples using the gganimate package and open source command line tools such as FFmpeg and ImageMagick.
