#' Creates a gif file
#'
#' @param seeds Values to set the random seeds in \code{gen_simplex}.
#' @param size Number of points.
#' @param anchor_layout Either "random", "spiral", or "diamond".
#' @param hue_turn Degree to rotate all hue values.
#' @param color_scheme Either "subset" or "full" for hue range.
#' @param color_subset_center Center hue value when using subset color_scheme
#' @param color_subset_width Width hue value when using subset color_scheme
#' @param movement Determines how the paths are animated. Options are "march"
#' and "glide". "march" moves small parts along the path. "glide" fills the path
#' entirely then shrinks it away.
#' @param output_file File to save the gif.
#' @importFrom rlang .data
#' @return gif file
#' @export
