New functions Animate and ListAnimate have been added to the built-in Mathematica kernel.
SpinShow is replaced by interactive rotation of three-dimensional graphics.
Animate and ListAnimate provide a self-contained interface for viewing animations:
Version 5.2
Animate[Plot[Sin[a x], {x, 0, 2 Pi}], {a, 1, 2}]Three-dimensional graphics can now be interactively rotated by clicking and dragging:
Version 5.2
Plot3D[Sin[x y], {x, 0, 2}, {y, 0, 2}]MovieContourPlot, MovieDensityPlot, MovieParametricPlot, MoviePlot, ScaledListPlot, MoviePlot3D, and ShowAnimation were available in previous versions of Mathematica and are now available on the web at library.wolfram.com/infocenter/MathSource/6810.
