  5. The animation package (cont) for (i in 1:360) { plot(1, ann = FALSE, type = "n", axes = FALSE) text(1, 1, "Animation", srt = i, col = rainbow(360)[i], cex = 7 * i/360) Sys.sleep(0.01) } Statistical Animations Using R - Yihui Xie

  6. Demonstrations • Package features • Animations using R windows graphics devices • Creating animations in HTML pages (animated by JavaScript) • Third-party software • ImageMagick: GIF, MPEG (convert) • SWF Tools: Flash (png2swf, jpeg2swf, pdf2swf) • Statistical animations • Not “Tom & Jerry”, but stuff like CLT, kNN, … Statistical Animations Using R - Yihui Xie

  7. Future developments • More animations in statistics • Interactivity in the Web via “Rweb” • Probably a GUI? (Tcl/Tk, gWidgets) • SWF Tools utility “swfc” Statistical Animations Using R - Yihui Xie
