Animate Graphs in R: Make Gorgeous Animated Plots with gganimate 

Thanks for watching!

That’s great to hear!-Glad you enjoyed the videos!

Couldn’t agree more! Going to use this to make some amazing data analytics presentations

Glad it helped, thanks for watching!

Much appreciated!

Glad to hear it! Be on the lookout for some more ggplot2 content in the near future!

Thanks for watching!

No problem, thanks for watching! Both of the datasets are from Kaggle, and I just updated the description with their links

Glad to hear it!

That's awesome -- good luck!

@@dataslice Thank you for the inspiration!

Absolutely! Thanks for watching!

Great suggestion -- I'll check it out! Thanks for watching

yes.i don't know why

Yep, one fix would be to rotate the labels on the x-axis. Try adding `+ theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 90))` to to your ggplot graph. 90 is the degrees it's rotated so you can play with the number

@@dataslice Hmm, I got the x-axis labels to rotate but they still overlapped with the x-axis title in the outputted gif. I need to put the x-axis title lower than the x-axis labels so that they're both readable. What're your thoughts? I wish I could just attach the gif so you could see exactly what I'm talking about. Thanks for the help!

You could use the lubridate package (which allows you to parse date times). Then you can use a combination of the built in functions and lubridate parsing functions to convert your columns into a 'date time object'. You might want to do something like dmy_hm(paste(, )). `Paste` will combine your date and time columns and `dmy_hm` parses a date time in that format. Here's the lubridate cheat sheet with more info evoldyn.gitlab.io/evomics-2018/ref-sheets/R_lubridate.pdf

Just to clarify, you tried saving your graph into the “graph1” variable? Did you try running the code “graph1” to get it to output to the viewer?

@@dataslice Just gave it another shot with the code below (same as yesterday, only now explicitly telling R to plot the graph): Graph1 % ggplot(aes(x = gdpPercap, y = lifeExp, color = continent, size = pop))+ geom_point() plot(Graph1) So this worked for me, not sure why I had to be explicit when you didn't. Imma try and fill out the rest and will update if it works out!

Finally got everything to work. I made a few changes (like facet wrapping by continent) and omitted some of your code (like the font family). Here's my end result: # Import required libraries library(gganimate) library(ggplot2) library(dplyr) library(gapminder) library(ggthemes) library(gifski) library(plotly) gapminder names(gapminder) # Graph1: Transitioning through time Graph1 % ggplot(aes(x = gdpPercap, y = lifeExp, color = continent, size = pop))+ geom_point(alpha = 0.7, stroke = 0)+ theme_fivethirtyeight()+ scale_size(range = c(2, 12), guide = "none")+ scale_x_log10()+ labs(title = "Life Expectancy vs GDP Per Capita by Country", x = "GDP per Capita)", y = "Life Expectancy (years)", color = "Continent", caption = "Source: Gapminder")+ theme(axis.title = element_text(), legend.text = element_text(size = 10))+ scale_color_brewer(palette = "Set2") # Explicitly plot the graph. Graph1 # Animate the graph AniGraph

Very helpful thread :)

I don't follow a specific book -- mostly just reading blog posts online, but the 'R for data science' online book is very helpful!

@@dataslice Thank you are Love and Support.

That would be nice but unfortunately I don’t think it can be done!

checkout package siuba in python that enables you to use piping, dplyr, i guess ggplot (not sure) as well to use it within python. Search RU-vid channel by name - Michael Chow. I think he is the one who has developed it as well.

You just need to go to your RStudio preferences > Appearance > Editor Theme. Mine is set to 'Dracula'

Great question In most cases (when you’re just assigning a value to a variable), they are the same There are some cases, like when using = or

Great suggestion! Thanks for sharing
