This is the function that powers all of the tour animations. If you want to write your own tour animation method, the best place to start is by looking at the code for animation methods that have already implemented in the package.
animate(
data,
tour_path = grand_tour(),
display = display_xy(),
start = NULL,
aps = 1,
fps = 10,
max_frames = Inf,
rescale = FALSE,
sphere = FALSE,
...
)
matrix, or data frame containing numeric columns
tour path generator, defaults to 2d grand tour
takes the display that is suppose to be used, defaults to the xy display
projection to start at, if not specified, uses default associated with tour path
target angular velocity (in radians per second)
target frames per second (defaults to 15, to accommodate RStudio graphics device)
the maximum number of bases to generate. Defaults to Inf for interactive use (must use Ctrl + C to terminate), and 1 for non-interactive use.
Default FALSE. If TRUE, rescale all variables to range [0,1]?
if true, sphere all variables
ignored
an (invisible) list of bases visited during this tour
See render
