## tweenr: Interpolate Data for Smooth Animations

### Description

In order to create smooth animation between states of data, tweening is necessary. This package provides a range of functions for creating tweened data that can be used as basis for animation. Furthermore it adds a number of vectorized interpolaters for common R data types such as numeric, date and colour.

### Details

tweenr is a small collection of functions to help you in creating intermediary representations of your data, i.e. interpolating states of data. As such it's a great match for packages such as animate and gganimate, since it can work directly with data.frames of data, but it also provide fast and efficient interpolaters for numeric, date, datetime and colour that are vectorized and thus more efficient to use than the build in interpolation functions (mainly `stats::approx()` and `grDevices::colorRamp()`).

The main functions for data.frames are `tween_states()`, `tween_elements()` and `tween_appear()`, while the standard interpolaters can be found at `tween()`
