#' Chernoff faces tour path animation.
#'
#' Animate a nD tour path with Chernoff's faces.  Can display up to 18
#' dimensions.
#'
#' This function requires the \code{TeachingDemos} package to draw the
#' Chernoff faces.  See \code{\link[TeachingDemos]{faces2}} for more details.
#'
#' @param ... other arguments passed on to \code{\link{animate}}
#' @seealso \code{\link{animate}} for options that apply to all animations
#' @keywords hplot
#' @export
#' @examples
#' # The drawing code is fairly slow, so this animation works best with a
#' # limited number of cases
#' flea_s <- rescale(flea[,1:6])
#' animate_faces(flea_s[19:24, 1:6])
#'
#' animate_faces(flea_s[19:24, 1:6], grand_tour(5))
