As far as I know, you can't completely avoid plotting all n plots.
Mathematica has to produce all the frames prior to animating. But you
can have Mathematica automatically group the cells and collapse them
to display only the first plot. An example is below
Do[Plot[Sin[2 Pi f t], {t, 0, 1}], {f, 1, 3}];
SelectionMove[EvaluationNotebook[], All, GeneratedCell];
FrontEndTokenExecute["CellGroup"];
FrontEndTokenExecute["OpenCloseGroup"];
You will of course replace the Do[ ] with your graphics commands. The
next three lines accomplish the automatic grouping and collapsing. Be
sure to include all the commands in the same cell. To animate just
double click the single plot that is visible.
