Using Animate Without Showing Variable Slider

[lukedmor (Lucas Morales)]

I’d like the animate command to simply animate graphics, without attaching a slider at the top of the graphic

Is there any way to do this, perhaps with another command…?

You mean you want the other elements to show but not the slider? Other than this trick, I am not sure at this moment. This still shows the top of the slider, but not the slider itself. Not a perfect solution…

Animate[Plot[Sin[a t], {t, -Pi, Pi}], {a, .1, 1, .1, Appearance -> Large, ImageSize -> 0}]

It is of course possible to make the whole thing using Dynamics directly. But Animate allready does all this work for us.

Try this:

Animate[Plot[Sin[x + a], {x, 0, 10}], {{a, 0, ""}, 0, 5, AppearanceElements -> None}]

or this with some controls but no slider

Manipulate[Plot[Sin[x + a], {x, 0, 10}], {{a, 0, ""}, 0, 5, Trigger}]

Thanks Sam, that’s just the kind of thing I was looking for!
