Here is one method I found using R help:
To create the individual image frames:
jpeg("/tmp/foo%02d.jpg")
for (i in 1:5) {
my.plot(i)
}
dev.off()
To make the movie, first install ImageMagick.
Then call the following function (which calls "convert", part of ImageMagick I suppose):
make.mov <- function(){
unlink("plot.mpg")
system("convert -delay 0.5 plot*.jpg plot.mpg")
}
Or try using the ffmpeg function as described in this article (I've found this gives cleaner results):
ffmpeg -r 25 -qscale 2 -i tmp/foo%02d.jpg output.mp4
May require a bit of tinkering, but this seemed pretty simple once everything was installed.
Of course, anywhere you see "jpg" or "jpeg", you can substitute GIF or PNG to suit your fancy.
