shadow_trail {gganimate} | R Documentation |
A trail of evenly spaced old frames
Description
This shadow will trace the movement in your animation by keeping every nth frame and will thus produce a breadcrumb-like trail. Note that the shadow frames will not be equidistant in space but in time (that is, if a point moves slowly the crumbs will be closer to each other). It is possible to modify the look of the shadow by changing the different graphic parameters in the data
Usage
shadow_trail(distance = 0.05, max_frames = Inf, ..., exclude_layer = NULL)
Arguments
distance |
The temporal distance between the frames to show, as a fraction of the full animation length |
max_frames |
The maximum number of shadow frames to show |
... |
changes to the shadow data, e.g. |
exclude_layer |
Indexes of layers that should be excluded. |
