How to manage parallel processing with animated ggplot2-plot?

Question

I\'m trying to build an animated barplot with ggplot2 and magick that\'s growing on a \"day per day\" base. Unfortunately, I\'ve got tenthousands o

Answer 1

I would do

library(tidyverse)
library(gganimate)
x %>% 
  as.tibble() %>% 
  arrange(date) %>%  
  group_by(category) %>% 
  mutate(Sum=cumsum(value)) %>% 
  ggplot(aes(category, Sum, fill = category)) +
  geom_col(position = 'identity') + 
  ggtitle("{frame_time}") +
  transition_time(date) +
  ease_aes('linear') 
anim_save("GIF.gif")  

If it's to much data I recommend to increase the transition time to months instead of days.
