gifski | R wrapper for the 'gifski' Rust Cargo crate

I'm trying to create an animated time series plot using gganimate. The following code produces almost the desired output. It creates two random time series, constructs a data frame and renders the desired animation:

I was wanting to make an animated ggplot of daily values for countries over the course of a year. I was able to do that thanks to some helpful questions/answers here.

While the code below successfully makes a gif, the changes/transitions when countries move up or down/overtake one another is very abrupt (i.e instantaneous). It is not smooth like the examples in the linked post.

I'm not entirely sure why this is happening and would really appreciate some help. Thanks in advance to anyone who is able to provide some insight. Code is below.

I have two data files at the following links: tuckdf and tgames.

I also have the following code to create an animation using these files:

Suppose I have the three following plots (in R):

I have a list of inputs (a combination of gifs and png) that I am trying to overlay and create a new gif. I was able to achieve this using this command and the following result:

I have about 24,000 photos (JPG) saved across a few folders. What I'd like to do is develop an R script that goes through all images of the folder and creates a GIF animation for every sequential group of 8 photos. I already have GIF animation code figured out using the magick library, so I don't need help with that. What I need help with is how to develop the code that steps through the images in the folder and groups them by a factor of 8. For example, If I have a folder of 24 images, I need something that will loop through the folder create 3 GIF files based on the three groups of 8 images as follows: GIF 1: images 1-8 in the folder GIF 2: images 9-16 in the folder GIF 3: images 17-24 in the folder

Here is the code I have so far, which assembles all images in the folder into a single GIF. I'm hoping there's an easy couple of lines of code that can be added that will step through every group of 8 images in the folder to produce a GIF animation. I would also like to name the output GIF file the same file name as the first image in the sequence.

Below is an example of animating vehicle moving from A to B. [solved by @mrhellmann here, there are solutions also available]

I want to animate vehicle moving from A to B and then wait at B for sometime and then return to A. Below is the code which has animations of both the trip (A-B and B-A).

1. How can we merge osroute_sampled_1 and osroute_sampled_2 to create single animation?

2. Also, how can we add wait time (make vehicle stationary for few seconds at B?

Note - Vehicle may not return to A, it may go to C. So creating a single route using same origin and destination (A) via B may not work

I am trying to make an animated bubble chart for a baseball league I'm in. Once I create the animated graph and convert it into a gif, it plots each team twice, as shown in the picture below. The legend should only hold 14 points/teams, but it shows 28 instead.

My code is the following:

I've created a large gganim of a lorenz curve using packages ggplot2, gglorenz, gganimate, transformr and gifski. I've created the gganim plot using 'wealth_lorenz', a df of 5 variables and ~2.5 million rows using the below code,

lorenz_chart <- ggplot(wealth_lorenz, aes(x = value, color = Limits)) + stat_lorenz() + transition_states(Time) + facet_wrap(~Limits)

The gganim object created is 103.4MB in size.

Understandably, it takes too long to render in Rstudio using animate(lorenz_chart). Is there an alternative that could be faster to run out? I understand it's a very large dataset with faceting so it may not be possible. Ideally I'd like to include the animation in a bookdown PDF_2 using the animate package (see here) if possible.

Thanks for any help!
