I haven’t done an animation in R in ages
So I needed to remember how to do it. Thie post “Building an animation step-by-step with gganimate” is pretty helpful:

Plant image analysis
The pliman (plant image analysis) package is designed to analyze plant images, particularly for leaf and seed analysis. It offers a range of functionalities to assist with various tasks such as measuring disease severity, counting lesions, obtaining lesion shapes, counting objects in an image, extracting object characteristics, performing Fourier Analysis, obtaining RGB values, extracting object coordinates and outlines, isolating objects, and plotting object measurements.

Most documents go through several versions (always more than you expected) before they are finally finished. Accordingly, you should do whatever possible to make the job of changing them easy.
First, when you do the purely mechanical operations of typing, type so subsequent editing will be easy. Start each sentence on a new line. Make lines short, and break lines at natural places, such as after commas and semicolons, rather than randomly. Since most people change documents by rewriting phrases and adding, deleting and rearranging sentences, these precautions simplify any editing you have to do later. —Brian W. Kernighan (1974)
