# HR.Data$year <- as.Date(HR.Data$YEAR, format = "%Y")

What do we have?

library(gganimate)
p1 <- p1 + transition_reveal(YEAR) # this is kind of a hack, the year isn't right
animate(p1, nframes = 200)

COW.Codes <- distinct(COW.Codes) # Duplicates exist in the COW Code master file
COW.Codes$Continent <- cut(COW.Codes$CCode, breaks = c(0, 100, 200, 400, 600, 700, 900,1000), labels = c("N. America", "S. America", "Europe", "Africa", "Med/Mid", "Asia", "Oceania"), right = FALSE)
HR.Data.Named <- left_join(HR.Data, COW.Codes, by = c("COW" = "CCode"))

Now I have something to work with that is labeled.

( ggplot(HR.Data.Named) + aes(x=YEAR, y=theta_mean, color=as.factor(StateAbb), label = StateAbb) + geom_line(alpha = 0.3)  +  scale_color_viridis_d(guide=FALSE) + labs(x="Year", y="Human Rights Dynamic Factor Score", title = "The Evolution of Human Rights with Normed Scores", caption = "See Fariss and Schnakenberg (2014)" ) + theme_economist_white() + facet_wrap(vars(Continent)) -> p2 )

p2

Now let’s look at that.

p2 <- p2 + transition_reveal(YEAR)
animate(p2, nframes = 200)
