Hello everyone,

I am currently using Julia Plots in order to make some animations of my plots, I’m using the @animate macro for this. Unfortunately it seems like the animation routine is not multithreadable, running the script with -p N (N =/= 1) doesn’t change a thing. This is not a problem If you want to produce short .gifs, but my loops are getting close to 2k (sometimes even larger) frames and this whole process is very slow. Is there a way for a workaround or is the multithreading option for this macro not implemented yet?

Best regards
