I recently gave a talk in which I wanted to show how the overlap between mother and daughter orangutans’ home ranges changed over time. I’d been itching to play around with the gganimate package (created by Thomas Lin Pedersen; his twitter, his github), and it seemed like the perfect opportunity. If you’re already familiar with ggplot2, then gganimate is a breeze. I was really happy with my final result, and figured it’s probably worth a post.
