Under Mathematica 3.0, you will need to use Display[] to create individual
GIFs and then use a third-party utility to string them together. There
are numerous free/source/shareware utilities out there for doing this on
all platforms.
Under Mathematica 4, you can export _lists_ of Graphics objects to an
animated GIF file with Export[]. The option ConversionOptions allows you
to specify parameters that influence the animation. They are documented
in the online reference guide. Paste this expression into a Mathematica
notebook and evaluate it:
FrontEndExecute[
FrontEnd`HelpBrowserLookup[
"RefGuide",
"Export"
]
]
At the end of the entry, you will find a section titled "Additional
Information." Click on the group open/close icon on the left to expose
the information, which is arranged in order of target format.
Note that ConversionOptions suboption names are strings.
