Messing around with animations, I created this toy example to make a growing outline of a heart in R. I have put it up as a gist on GitHub and embedded it below. It uses the animation and the ggplot2 packages–both of which make it incredibly simple to make a good looking graphic.
The formula to draw the hearts can be found thanks to Wolfram MathWorld.
