\item{value}{the values}

\item{export}{the export type, either gif, first or last. The latter two

\examples{
long <- data_frame(
  year = c(2010L, 2011L, 2010L, 2011L, 2010L, 2011L),
  person = c("Alice", "Alice", "Bob", "Bob", "Charlie", "Charlie"),
  sales = c(105, 110, 100, 97, 90, 95)
)
animate_spread(long, key = "person", value = "sales", export = "first")
animate_spread(long, key = "person", value = "sales", export = "last")

\donttest{
  animate_spread(long, key = "person", value = "sales", export = "gif")
  # if you want to have a less detailed animation, you can also use
  animate_spread(long, key = "person", value = "sales", export = "gif", detailed = FALSE)
