[R] Is ImageMagick package not compatible with R 3.3.2?

[C W]

I figured it out.  You can first do,

saveGIF({
  for (j in 1:20){
    plot(-4:4, -4:4, type = "n")
    for(i in 1:10){
      x[i] <- rnorm(1)
      y[i] <- rnorm(1)
      points(x[i], y[i])
    }
  }
 })

It looks like you have to re-plot every time.
