pathwork and gganimate?

[debakantamishra]

I am trying to use gganimate on a set of three plots that have been combined using patchwork. Basically, these are simple scatter+line plots, that have three different y values (y1, y2, y3) for the same x (distance along a road). I am trying to combine them using patchwork p1/p2/p3 so that they are in three rows. My idea is to animate the lines so that one would get a feeling that we are driving down the road (remember x is distance along a road), and here are the variations in y1, y2, and y3 we see. I can make it work if i plot y1, y2 and y3 on the same plot. But that is not desirable as the scales have to be different. I cannot make the gganimate to work on a p4<-p1/p2/p3. Can someone please help? I am quite new to R, so may be asking some "simplistic" questions.

Thank you very much

@thomasp85 Is there anything to be expected along these lines in a foreseeable future?
I also try to combine multiple gganimate panels into one figure.
There is this Wiki entry in the gganimate repo (https://github.com/thomasp85/gganimate/wiki/Animation-Composition) that suggests a solution using the magick package. However, I'd consider this rather a "workaround". Would feel more native to use patchwork for this purpose.

not in the foreseeable future - I'm working on a gganimate release but I'm afraid this won't make the cut as there are too much internal stuff already to be done

ok, thanks for the update
