Easy animation using Plots
In this section, we will learn what animations are and how we can create them with Plots. We will also discuss the Animations package, which will help us interpolate between positions. We are also going to take advantage of Animations when working with Makie and Javis. But let's start with the most straightforward animation tool available in Julia: Plots.
Animations are simply a succession of slightly similar images in time that give the sensation of movement. Each of those images is a frame of the animation. The Plots package does precisely that; it provides an Animation object that you can add one frame at a time to. Each frame is a static PNG image that's created using Plots. It's up to us to generate each frame with the slight change that's needed to create a pleasant animation.
We can save animations in different formats. The Plots package offers the following format options:
