[R] animated plot

[Prof Brian Ripley]

It's better to save in png or bmp than jpeg unless these are image() plots 
(and maybe even then).

There are lots of tools to take a series of bitmapped plots and make an 
animation from them.

A more elegant way is to use a screengrab tool which can grep a video 
clip of an animation running in a R graphics window.
