Dear Ben,
Thanks for bringing to my attention the application of Export command
here.
In the end of your message I believe you would like to write something
like
fr[n_] := Plot[(Sqrt[7*x^4 +
6*x + 5] - Sqrt[7*x^4 + 3*x + 3])*Sqrt[63*x^2 - 5*x + 20], {x, 0,
n},
PlotRange -> {{0, 10}, {2, 6.5}}, Frame -> {True, True, False,
False},
Epilog -> {Red, Line[{{0, 4.5}, {10, 4.5}}]}]
Export["movie.gif", Table[fr[i], {i, 1, 10}], "GIF"];
Run["movie.gif"];
However this seems not to work (or else I do a big mistake)...
The following works very well
Export["movie.avi", Table[fr[i], {i, 0.1, 10, 0.5}], "AVI"];
Run["movie.avi"];
Regards
Dimitris
