1) GraphicsConverter by Lemke Software ($30 shareware but comes free with some Macs) will automatically join together many types of image files to produce a QuickTime movie. Simply dump the images into to a folder getting R to update the name so the list file order is your time order. Then a single command will do the job.
2) iMovie (free) will allow you to drag and drop say .pdfs files into a movie. This programme gives you considerable control over things like the duration of each frame and the zoom factor but may be rather time consuming for your purpose.
I would probably use both, joining the files with GraphicsConverter and editing the movie with iMovie.
Whatever you do I think you will need a few Gigabytes of disk space depending on your image and video resolution/compression.

Thanks for you comments,
I am visualising 4 months time series at 30 minutes intervals so it is
impossible to create all this set of images (*.png, *.jpg, *.bmp,…). With
R, I can change the speed of visualisation but I think I would need a
screengrab tool to save the sequence. I manage to save as .pdf and the graph
moves! But the file is huge. Could you please shedding some light on how to
find screengrab tools (name of free software if possible)
Thanks,
Jesus
-------------------It's better to save in png or bmp than jpeg unless these are image() plots
(and maybe even then).the
There are lots of tools to take a series of bitmapped plots and make an
animation from them.
A more elegant way is to use a screengrab tool which can grep a video clip of an animation running in a R graphics window.

Hi Jesus,
Don't know if in R this is possible, but on a Linux machine you can dofeb,following (no very elegant): save your individual images (i.e.: jan,onemarch, ...)in .jpeg format, then with some image manager package (i.e.
Imagemagic) transfrom to .gif, and, finally, use whirlgif to paste inandfile all your newly created individuals files (jan.gif, feb.gif,...),you will get an animated plot.
Saludos!

Asunto: [R] animated plot
Dear colleagues,
Is there any way of saving an animated plot with R? For instance, any format that could be read by Microsoft windows media or whatever.
Cheers,
Jesus
