This function creates an animation of branching random diffusion (i.e., BM with speciation).
branching.diffusion(sig2=1, b=0.0023, time.stop=1000, ylim=NULL,
smooth=TRUE, pause=0.02, record=NULL, path=NULL, ...)
variance of BM process, \(\sigma^2\).
birthrate for branching process.
number of generations to run.
y limits (for plotting).
no longer used.
pause (in s) between generations.
filename for video file output (no video if NULL
).
full path to file for video rendering. (By default branching.diffusion
will look for the executable ffmpeg.exe
in the directory C:/Program Files/ffmpeg/bin
, even though this will not make sense on non-Windows machines.)
optional arguments.
An animated plot and (optionally) a recorded video file. For animation to be recorded to file, the function requires the package animation as well as a video renderer.
