New description:
Currently the `Animation` class only animates `Graphics` objects, and
throws an error for `Graphics3d`, `GraphicsArray`, and `Tachyon` objects.
The behavior of this class should be improved to accept any Sage object
whose `save` method produces an image.

devel/9TzVOj70ADU sage-devel] thread for the beginning of this discussion,
including some discussion of possible solutions.

Comment:
The new branch is ready for review! It rebases the previous patch to sage
5.13.beta4. It includes other minor improvements to documentation and
internal methods.
With this patch, the `Animate` class can create an animation from any
iterable of objects which have a `save_image` method. Such a method is
added to several of the base classes for different graphics types:
`sage.plot.graphics.Graphics`, `sage.plot.graphics.GraphicsArray`,
`sage.plot.plot3d.base.Graphics3d`, `sage.plot.plot3d.tachyon.Tachyon`.
