convert argument too long about gganimate

[johnmackintosh]

I had a similar issue (trying to generate plots minute by minute over 24 hours) and it kept failing with similar error messages received the command line being too long.
My solution was to break each plot into 15 minute timebands and plot cumulatively from time 0 to the end of each 15 minute segment.
That way I only had to generate 96 plots, rather than 1440.
Not sure if this will suit you but just putting it out there for anyone else who may come across this

We are finishing a complete rewrite of gganimate undertaken by Thomas Pedersen, with massive breaking changes to the API (this will come with a version bump to 1.0.0; currently 0.9.9.9999). This fixes many existing bugs and installation difficulties, and offers a more intuitive grammar of graphics.

As a result I'm closing almost all open issues, since they aren't relevant to the new version (bug reports in particular no longer apply). I apologize for any inconvenience in updating your existing code, but the new version of gganimate will be well worth the effort.

• If you are still interested in this issue and believe it is relevant to the new version of gganimate, you can reopen it!

• If you'd like to continue using the old gganimate version (which we do not recommend, as it will not be maintained), you can install from this release using the following code:

  devtools::install_github("dgrtwo/gganimate", ref = "v0.1.1”)
