Module #13

 This assignment was aimed at using r to animate. When I was watching the module videos I was very interested to know exactly how R would be able to produce legitiamte 'animations' in a more standard sense. I had seen how ggplot and other packages could be used to create renderings of 3D models without moving pieces, so I already had the belief that R could be used this as well. Besides the posted websites, I found some other ways to animate besides the 'animate' package by Yihui Xie. One of these was a rendering of a scatter plot that presented the x,y, and z axis and rotated around the edges of this illustration. I found another that produced a scatter plot, this time 2d and showed movement of the data points over time, with the year changing as the gif continued. ScatterPlot Gif Origin

In addition, I wanted to test out the animation that Bryan posted on his blog through the link provided in the assignment. R Bloggers. 

This is the code for the standard deviation animation provided by Bryan.

This next code segment is for the animated scatter plot:

This really helps to show the different ways in which R is conducive towards creating unique visual graphics and aiding in users to be innovative. There are countless packages and tools available that makes animating an engaging and even artistic aspect of data visualization!
