gganimate live cookbook
summary
gganimate is an extension to ggplot2 now on CRAN that rewrites an older API and interpolates data to produce smooth animations (author mentions requesting 10,000 frames for a four‑minute render). Examples show transition_time for continuous keyframes, transition_reveal for drawing lines over time, transition_states for ordered factors, plus view adjustments (view_follow), memory effects like shadow_wake and enter/exit effects (enter_grow), and glue integration for dynamic labels.
