In previous sections, we have learned how to make lists of Maple plot structures and then to display them all together in the same frame as a single picture. This is all it takes to make movies.
Lets start simply, by animating the stacking of a small pile of bricks.
Maybe we would like to have it simply sit there and alternate its colors. What we need to do is alternate horizontal and vertical bricks and account for the different translation distances. This means that, starting with 0 the even bricks will be vertical and the odd ones horizontal. Suppose we would like to see a stack of bricks growing as each successive brick is added. Then, when we display this as an animation we will see the stack of bricks appear to grow.
