Hello,

I want to add annotations at each different frame of my animation. Can you please help?

I have a figure which has different frames per date but I don’t know how to do add animations at each frame:

fig \<- plot\_ly(dt, x = x, y = y, colors=colorMap,  
type=‘scatter’,mode=‘markers+text’,  
marker = list(symbol=‘circle’,sizemode=‘diameter’),  
text=~text, **frame=~dates** )

fig \<- fig %\>% add\_annotations(  
x=0.5,  
y=1,  
text = paste(“Frame:”, **frame** )  
)

Thanks,  
E
