Examples

# Using 'animate' in a 'Shiny' app
library(shiny)

ui <- fluidPage(
  actionButton("buttonPlot", "Plot"),
  actionButton("buttonPoints", "Points"),
  actionButton("buttonLines", "Lines"),
  animateOutput()
)

server <- function(input, output, session) {
  device <- animate$new(600, 400, session = session)
  id <- new_id(1:10)

  observeEvent(input$buttonPlot, {     # Example 1
    device$plot(1:10, 1:10, id = id)
  })

  observeEvent(input$buttonPoints, {   # Example 2
    device$points(1:10, runif(10, 1, 10), id = id, transition = TRUE)
  })

  observeEvent(input$buttonLines, {    # Example 3
    x <- seq(1, 10, 0.1)
    y <- sin(x)
    id <- "line_1"
    device$lines(x, y, id = id)
    for (n in 11:100) {
      x <- seq(1, n, 0.1)
      y <- sin(x)
      device$lines(x, y, id = id)
      Sys.sleep(0.05)
    }
  })
}

# shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)  # Launch the 'Shiny' app
