# Creating a Dynamic Time Index Slider for List Animate Plot

I am trying to create an animation using ListPlot, which has worked, but I want to be able to see how time is changing (i.e. its dynamic value) as the animation runs. Here is my normal List Plot without the time indicator:

ListPlot[
Table[Plot[%25, {y, 0, 150}, PlotRange -> {-3, 3}], {t, 0, 35, .25}]]


where %25 is just an equation I am plotting, y is my dependent variable, and t is my independent variable (time) and the parameter I am trying to display.

I tried doing this, but I'm sure its riddled with errors it doesn't give the desired result:

ListAnimate[plots, {AnimationTimeIndex -> Dynamic[i], DefaultDuration -> 50, Dynamic[i]}]


Please let me know if I am not being clear as to what I want or if you need more information from me. Thanks for the help!

• Some ideas can be found here and I used a dynamic PlotLabel here. Jun 23, 2016 at 19:59
• Your code baffles me. What does it mean to ListPlot a Table of Plot objects? Do you get any sensible output from your first line? Jun 23, 2016 at 21:51
• Sorry, I should've explained the original code more. I plot a function based on y and t. Then I create a Table of that function, which basically gives the values of the function for various values of t. Then the ListPlot gives a bunch of screenshots of the function's plot at various values of t (see updated picture). Then I ListAnimate all of this to get a nice animation of the function. BUT the issue is I can't find a way to display the parameter t as the animation runs. Jun 23, 2016 at 22:07
• PlotLabel->t will this help?

• @Wjx unfortuantely no, ut doesn't seem Animate has PlotLabel as an option. It simply gave an error. Thanks for the suggestion though. Jun 24, 2016 at 0:26
