For each plot:
1. display the plot
2. read the contents of the graphics window into an array
using TVRD() (eg. array = TVRD() )
3. save the array to file (save all arrays to the same file)
Then animate using XINTERANIMATE.
Hope this helps.

You can use a Z-Buffer, and read the Image via
tvrd !
Then you have an array of images...
