\arguments{
\item{w}{a data_frame in the wide format}

\item{key}{the key}

\item{value}{the value}

\item{...}{further arguments passed to \code{\link[tidyr:gather]{tidyr::gather()}}, \code{\link[=process_wide]{process_wide()}},
or \code{\link[=process_long]{process_long()}}}

\item{export}{the export type, either gif, first or last. The latter two
export ggplots of the first/last state of the join}

wide <- data_frame(

  # if you want to have a less detailed animation, you can also use
  animate_gather(wide, "person", "sales", -year, export = "gif", detailed = FALSE)
