#' Animates a join operations
#'
#' Functions to visualise the join operations either static as a ggplot, or
#' dynamic as a gif.

#' @param x the x dataset
#' @param y the y dataset
#' @param by the by arguments for the join
#' @param export the export type, either gif, first or last. The latter two
#'              export ggplots of the first/last state of the join
#' @param ... further arguments passed to base_plot

#' @return either a gif or a ggplot
