A while back someone asked if Mathematica could plot data one point at a
time....most answers were no, with one exception, where someone showed how
to use the same Graphic Cell repeatedly....here is some Mathematica, JLink
program that will do just that...

 << JLink`

   InstallJava[CommandLine -> "c:\\j2sdk1.4.1\\bin\\java.exe"]   (* or set
command line to where your java.exe is *)

UseFrontEndForRendering = False;

createWindow[] := Module[{frame},
    frame = 
      JavaNew["com.wolfram.jlink.MathFrame", "Drawing Sine Wave Animation
One Point at a Time"];
    drawArea = JavaNew["com.wolfram.jlink.MathCanvas"];
    drawArea@setUsesFE[UseFrontEndForRendering];
    drawArea@setSize[800, 600];
JavaBlock[frame@setLayout[JavaNew["java.awt.BorderLayout"]];
      frame@add[drawArea, ReturnAsJavaObject[BorderLayout`CENTER]];
      frame@pack[]; points = Range[data // Length]
      frame@setSize[800, 600];
      frame@setLocation[200, 200];
      JavaShow[frame]];
frame
]


data = Table[{x, Sin[x]}, {x, -0.0000000000001, 2 Pi, .1}];


 frame[n_] := 
  ListPlot[Take[data, {1, n}], PlotRange -> {{0, 2 Pi}, {-1.5, 1.5}}, 
    PlotStyle -> {PointSize[.005], Hue[0]}, DisplayFunction -> Identity]


 drawPoints[ptNow_] := Show[frame[ptNow], AspectRatio -> Automatic];

 points = Range[data // Length];


AnimationPlot[pt_List] := JavaBlock[ Block[{frm},
      					frm = createWindow[];
      					 Map[(obj = drawPoints[#];
            				drawArea@setMathCommand["obj"];
            				drawArea@repaintNow[];
            				Pause[0.0001];) &, pt];
 

      					] ]


 AnimationPlot[points]
