Hi, both solutions are great! This is what I had in mind, a rolling sine. Is there a way to get the same result with the Tikz module?

\usemodule[animation]
\setupinteraction[state=start]

\starttext

\input tufte

\framed{
\startanimation[menu=yes,framerate=40]
\dorecurse{50}{\expanded
{\startframe
\startMPcode
numeric u, omega, mylength, tt ;
u := 2cm ;
omega := 4 ;
mylength := 3.141596 ;
tt := \recurselevel ;
path p ;
p := (0u,sin(omega*(mylength/100)*tt)*u) for i = 1 upto 100 :
.. (((mylength/100)*i)*u,sin(omega*(mylength/100)*(i + tt))*u)
endfor ;
draw p withpen pencircle scaled .5pt withcolor darkred ;
\stopMPcode
\stopframe}
}
\stopanimation
}

\stoptext

Hi,

I wonder whether something like the following is what you are looking for:

% begin wave-sine.tex
\usemodule[animation]
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\starttext
\startTEXpage[offset=2pt]
\startanimation[menu=yes,framerate=10]
        \dorecurse{100}{\expanded
                {\startframe
                \startMPcode
                        numeric u, omega, mylength, tt ;
                        u := 2cm ;
                        omega := 4 ;
                        mylength := 3.141596 ;
                        tt := \recurselevel ;
                        path p ;
                        p := (0u,sin(omega*(mylength/100)*tt)*u) for i = 1 upto 100 :
                                                        .. (((mylength/100)*i)*u,sin(omega*(mylength/100)*(i + tt))*u)
                                        endfor ;
                        draw p withpen pencircle scaled .5pt withcolor darkred ;
                \stopMPcode
                \stopframe}
                }
\stopanimation
\stopTEXpage
\stoptext
% end wave-sine.tex

Best regards: OK
