Per item label,title,description

[MonteShaffer]

For each animation element, I should be able to place a label (e.g., title for the element I may want to jump to).

In addition, for each element, a title and description (.e.g., display above the graph as main/submain) would be a nice feature.

animationis a package to animate image/figure sequence. You should generate figures with label and title before using any animation function.

I am referring to saveHTML where I want the label/title to be machine-readable (e.g., in the HTML, not in the figure). When I click on the next element, or when it is auto-playing, it would be nice that the HTML could report label/title/description. This should not be difficult to add as a dataframe option or something:

In the below example nr=64 so I have 64 animated figures. Certainly I could add static detail to the figure, but you are allowing some control over the HTML/JQUERY space, why not allow such per-item data objects. Again, HTML is copy/paste machine readable, a title in a figure is only an image.

 animation::saveHTML(
                for(i in 1:nr)
                {
                    #image(dinfo[,,i])
                    image(dinfo[,,i], col  = gray((0:256)/256) );
                    #image(dinfo[,,i], col  = terrain.colors(256) );
                },
                
                img.name = paste( rkey ,"_",sep=""), 
                htmlfile = paste( rkey ,".html",sep=""),
                #navigator = T,
                
                ani.width=nx,
                ani.height=ny,
                #title = paste("Zones: ",paste(s_$zones, sep=" - ", collapse="")),
                #verbose = T,
                autobrowse = F #,
                #description = myD
            );

It appears that scianimator would allow for other "parallel" arrays to each image element. When I am interacting with the output, it would be nice if I could mouse over the "green box" and recall some label to refer to which stage of nr=64 I am at.
