moveVis provides tools to visualize movement data (e.g. from GPS tracking) and temporal changes of environmental data (e.g. from remote sensing) by creating video animations. It works with move and raster class inputs and turns them into ggplot2 frames that can be further customized. moveVis uses gifski (wrapping the gifski cargo crate) and av (binding to FFmpeg ) to render frames into animated GIF or video files.
A peer-reviewed open-access paper accompanying moveVis has been published in Methods in Ecology and Evolution .
