you could first make the frames to put together in R, then outside of R glue the frames into a gif.
eg: frames<-10 for(i in 1:frames) { jpeg(paste("ani_", i, ".jpg", sep = "")) plot(1:10,1:10, col = i) dev.off() } then use an image editing program to glue the jpgs together -- eg free and crossplatform imagemagick (www.imagemagick.org). under linux and once imagemagick is installed, the command $ convert -delay 10 ani_*.jpg animation.gif makes a looping animated gif `animation.gif' with 10/100 sec. between frame flips. ---- Katharine Mullen Department of Physics and Astronomy Faculty of Sciences Vrije Universiteit de Boelelaan 1081 1081 HV Amsterdam The Netherlands room: T.1.06 tel: +31 205987870 fax: +31 205987992 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.nat.vu.nl/~kate/ ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
