Jmol (our 3d graphic viewer) has some very nice animation capabilities. We haven't tapped those in Sage yet, though. There are lots of demos up online. A quick Google search yields these, for example: http://jmol.sourceforge.net/demo/animation/ http://www3.interscience.wiley.com:8100/legacy/college/boyer/0471661791/structure/jmol_intro/jmol.htm http://www.umass.edu/molvis/martz/lectures/labmolgen/mj2.htm http://www.chem.ucalgary.ca/courses/351/Carey5th/Ch03/ch3-06.html Basically, jmol has a scripting language that lets you animate things in the image. It would be cool if Sage could automatically write such an animation script from some sort of Sage plot command...
