Be Kind, Rewind
summary
An R package called {camcorder} records every ggplot or patchwork as it’s created, saving PNG/SVG/PDF files (default to a temp dir) and stitching them into GIFs so you can replay your exploration; initialization uses camcorder::ggrecord with dir/device/height/width, resizing via gg_resize_film, playback via gg_playback, and stop with gg_stop_recording. It overrides the print method (so it works outside RStudio), was used to make Blockbuster and gapminder animations, and removes the need for repetitive ggsave calls.
