How to plot using timstamp and coordinates?

Question

I have logs of mouse movement that is coordinates and timestamp .I want to plot the mouse movement using this log how can I do this I have no idea what API or what can be used to do the same.I want to know how start with if there is some way which exist.

My log is as follows

 Date     hr:min:sec ms     x      y
    13/6/2020  13:13:33 521    291    283
    13/6/2020  13:13:33 638    273    234
    13/6/2020  13:13:33 647    272    233
    13/6/2020  13:13:33 657    271    231
    13/6/2020  13:13:33 667    269    230
    13/6/2020  13:13:33 677    268    229
    13/6/2020  13:13:33 687    267    228

You're looking for geom_path() from ggplot2. The geom will connect a line between all your observations based on the order they appear in the dataframe. So, here's some x,y data that's expanded a bit:

df <- data.frame(
  x=c(291,273,272,271,269,268,267,264,262,261,261,265,268,280,290),
  y=c(283,234,233,231,230,229,228,226,230,235,237,248,252,246,235)
)

And some code to make a simple plot using geom_path():

p <- ggplot(df, aes(x=x,y=y)) + theme_classic() +
    geom_path(color='blue') + geom_point()
p

If you want, you can even save that as an animation based on your time points. See the code below using the gganimate package:

library(gganimate)
df$time <- 1:15
a <- p + transition_reveal(time)
animate(a, fps=20)

`df <- data.frame( x=c(291,273,272,271,269,268,267,264,262,261,261,265,268,280,290), y=c(283,234,233,231,230,229,228,226,230,235,237,248,252,246,235) )` How you are inserting it from data object ,which has x and y coordinates ? – Nurav Jun 16 '20 at 12:12
How to fetch directly from data object which is created by using `mydata<-read.csv()` and has x and y as coloumns – Nurav Jun 16 '20 at 12:19
Well, based on your question your dataset has columns named "x" and "y". You would be able to create those plots using the code above (but use `mydata` instead of `df`). I also am assuming that the dataset you have is arranged/ordered by time. That's important if you're drawing a path based on the time, since `geom_path()` just takes the order the observations appear in your dataframe. Is that answering your question? – chemdork123 Jun 16 '20 at 13:02
how can we fetch that from data set you wrote it manually? – Nurav Jun 16 '20 at 13:52
How to create animation like it is creating frames 100 frames how to animate that? – Nurav Jun 16 '20 at 14:28
The animation is from the `gganimate` package. Some information to get you started [can be found on their site](https://gganimate.com). You [could also check this article with some examples of animation](https://www.datanovia.com/en/blog/gganimate-how-to-create-plots-with-beautiful-animation-in-r/). – chemdork123 Jun 16 '20 at 14:35
