# Basic Animations

- [Animated Line Graphs](https://nikhilc52.gitbook.io/making-animated-visualizations-in-r/basic-animations/animated-line-graphs.md): Line graphs can be very useful indicators of data. Animating them draws your viewer in and grabs their attention.
- [Animated Scatter Plots](https://nikhilc52.gitbook.io/making-animated-visualizations-in-r/basic-animations/animated-scatter-plots.md): Scatter plots are useful for conveying information about a number of points. By animating, we can add a new dimension to the graph.
- [Animated Word Clouds](https://nikhilc52.gitbook.io/making-animated-visualizations-in-r/basic-animations/animated-word-clouds.md): Word clouds can help viewers easily identify data points. Animating can help to show trends over time.
- [Animated Maps](https://nikhilc52.gitbook.io/making-animated-visualizations-in-r/basic-animations/animated-maps.md): Maps present the opportunity for immensely valuable data visualizations. Animations can help to elevate these visuals.
