Improving Grid Line Animations

[TheCedarPrince]

Background

As we are finishing up the Grid lines initial PR, we are already thinking about how to improve it! This is somewhat lower priority currently but will be worked on consistently.

Additional Information

Here were some thoughts @Wikunia and I were thinking about implementing next:

• Have a lighter grid (setline(0.5) or something) and bigger lines every 5 or so steps.
• Have numbers and titles for the axis
• The thing about extensibility using Val for example (see [WIP] Grid Lines Animation #18)

I also thought of a couple that I was exploring:

• Arrows at the end of lines
• Defining x and y axis limits for zero-lines

If anyone else has any thoughts, feel free to drop a comment/thought! For reference, here is what the current grid lines animation look like:

When you're working on this also make sure to change the test cases slightly to have better coverage.
i.e you currently test 4 animations but all use the same line_gap and line_thickness.

It might also be valuable to set the color maybe even two such that every second line is using a different color.

Maybe we should use SubAction appear for this as currently I feel like there is no way to actually have a drawn grid which does not disappear after it's drawn completely.

That makes sense to me @Wikunia.

Furthermore, the animation here does not actually "mean" anything. What I mean by that is that I can't draw vectors or objects in relation to the grid. I'd like to change that - see #98
