R-generated animation of a polynomiograph

Hi, people.

Two days ago, I sent to this list a little toy for exploring
polynomiographs (yet, the mathematical formulas were not polynomials
anymore, so the name is not really appropriate).

After studying R calls, expressions and functions a bit more, I gave
myself the homework of producing an animation out of my recent toy.  The
resulting animation, and also the sources, are available at:

P.S. - My intent was studying R, much more than producing art :-). I'm
sure anyone could do nicer, playing a few hours with this!

Oops!  (I moved files around, managing space for something else, without
thinking I need some compatibility link at this previous URL.  OK, done!)

Thanks for appreciating this initial try.  My real goal was to learn
some bits about R, much more than chasing art.  Later maybe :-).

I used this little code today for learning how to create an R
package.  The overall integration of this, including `R CMD check', is
impressively nice.  Job very well done!  (For now, it works only for me
when I do _not_ use `-l MY/OWN/LIBDIR' at `R CMD INSTALL' time, I surely
made a simple blunder somewhere.  Hopefully, I'll figure it out.)

                                            Keep happy, everbody!
