highcharter animations in flexdashboard

[davisderodes]

Hello!

I've run into an issue when trying to control/edit the animations of highcharts in flexdashboard. It appears that the animation preferences I pass through using plotOptions are ignored.

I have a normal .Rmd that shows the intended animation options and a flexdashboard with the same graph code.

My goal is to just show those highcharts in the flexdashboard with their animation settings, so I'm open to alternatives as well

Thanks!

When I run this locally this is working for me - the animation is working.
Do you have updated version of all the packages ?

  hc_plotOptions(series = list(animation = list(duration = 20000)))
```

Yup. I had an up-to-date flexdashboard and highcharter, but a sneaky out of date Rmarkdown.

Thanks!
