Hi Agus, Yes you are absolutely right about the awkward jumps in the animations and this has also been my big problem for a long time. To solve this problem, I think I need a third-party software, as I don't know any solutions merely using R. Maybe the "swfc" utility in the SWF Tools or the Processing language can be possible solutions. I'll try them when I have enough time.
As for the function Rosling.bubbles(), you have to wait until the version 1.0-2 is published on CRAN. (I've submitted the new version this morning) Sorry it seems I have been discussing a different topic under this thread...
