ListAnimate

ListAnimate[{expr₁, expr₂, ...}]
generates an animation whose frames are the successive expr_i.

ListAnimate[list, fps]
displays fps frames per second.

MORE INFORMATION

The expr_i can be any expressions, and do not need to be graphics.

ListAnimate generates a Manipulate object containing an Animator.

If it is not specified, fps will by default be chosen so that the animation lasts a total of 5 seconds.

ListAnimate has the same options as Manipulate, with the following additions and changes:

	Alignment	Automatic	how to align objects in the display area
	AnimationDirection	Forward	the direction of the animation
	AnimationRepetitions	Infinity	how many times to run before stopping
	AppearanceElements	None	control elements to include
	DefaultDuration	5.	the default duration in seconds
	DisplayAllSteps	True	whether to force all expr_i to be displayed
	ImageSize	All	the overall image size to use

ListAnimate by default displays in an area large enough to fit any of the expr_i.

With the option setting ImageSize->Automatic, ListAnimate leaves space only for the expr_i currently being displayed.

The following elements are included by default: "ProgressSlider", "PlayPauseButton", "FasterSlowerButtons", "DirectionButton". These elements can be specified in any order in a list given as the setting for AppearanceElements.
