Dear Michael
The following code suppresses the output graphics and exports them to a GIF
graphic which can be viewed elsewhere (I used Netscape 4.75).
test = Table[
Plot[Sin[t x], {x, -4\[Pi], 4\[Pi]}, DisplayFunction -> Identity], {t, 1,
4}];
Export["test.GIF", test, "GIF", ConversionOptions -> {"Loop" -> True}]
The DisplayFunction->Identity suppresses the graphics output.
The Export function converts all these frames into an animation in GIF format.
The Loop option causes the frames to loop forever.
I was unable to import the GIF output as an animation in Mathematica but it
looks fine in Netscape.
NOTE: Since files are being created becareful about which directory you are
working in.
$TopDirectory will show you this and
SetDirectory["c\\users\\anesh"] is a function that will help you to
change default
directories.
Thank you,
