Animated GIFs

I really should be posting about character theory, but I got distracted making some aesthetic changes to this blog (new icon and favicon!) and creating animations like this:

harmonograph

Iā€™m not putting this in a SageCell because this could take quite a while, especially if you increase the number of frames (by changing the parameters in srange), but feel free to try it out on your own copy of Sage. It saves an animated GIF that loops forever (iterations = 0) at the location specified by savefile.

For more information, checkout the Sage reference for animated plots.
