Dear R-help crowd,
is it possible to specify a time delay for plotting the points in a curve? I
would like to make the plotting process slow enough to show the development
of the graph, and therefore I am looking either for the possibility within
the plot function to specify a plotting speed or (if that doesn't exist) for
a function like "pause" or "wait" that allows to specify a
time delay until
the next statement is executed. I have searched help and mailing list
archives, but I don't seem to look for the right keywords. My current
solution is very crude:
I add the following to an existing plot:
for (i in 1:steps)
{
lines(x[i:(i+1)], y[i:(i+1)])
???? #calculations with the sole purpose of generating a time delay
???? zoeger<-1
???? for (j in 1:85000)
???? {zoeger<-zoeger*j}
}
Is there a better way to achieve this?
Regards, Ulrike
