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:

Getting rid of convergence information in asreml
I am coding simulations where I call asreml() and it was taking longer than necessary, because it was sending the convergence information to the screen. The trick to get rid of that is to use the trace = FALSE option as in
asreml(trait_1 ~ 1, random = ~ mum, data = current_trial, trace = FALSE)Getting rid of bars and outliers in boxplots
Sometimes I am testing graphs and I want to get rid of the lines (coef = 0) and outliers (outlier.shape = NA), particularly if I’m overlapping points.
geom_boxplot(coef = 0, outlier.shape = NA)A good entry point to Julia
