Mathematica: Animate multiple sets of XY data

[Joseph Woods]

I have nine sets of data with x,y coords that are the position of a particle. I can ListPlot the particle positions on a single plot, but, I want to animate this.

ListPlot[{mydata1, mydata2, mydata3, mydata4, mydata5, mydata6, mydata7, mydata8, mydata9}, PlotRange -> {{-1, 20}, {-1, 20}}]

I have been playing around with ListAnimate and I can get one particle to animate but I can not get the rest.

ListAnimate[ ListPlot[{#, #}, PlotRange -> {{-1, 20}, {-1, 20}}] & /@ mydata1]

Is there a way to get all nine particles in the same frame?

Yes, you can use ListAnimate to animate all nine particles in the same frame. To do this, you will need to create a list of plots, each containing the data for one particle. You can do this using the Table function:tableData = Table[ListPlot[{mydata[], mydata[]}, PlotRange -> {{-1, 20}, {-1, 20}}], {i, 1, 9}];Then you can use ListAnimate to animate the plots:ListAnimate[tableData]
