matplotlib.animation.ArtistAnimation

classmatplotlib.animation.ArtistAnimation(fig, artists, *args, **kwargs)[source]

Animation using a fixed set of Artist objects.

Before creating an instance, all plotting should have taken place and the relevant artists saved.

Note

You must store the created Animation in a variable that lives as long as the animation should run. Otherwise, the Animation object will be garbage-collected and the animation stops.

Parameters
figFigure

The figure object used to get needed events, such as draw or resize.

artistslist

Each list entry is a collection of Artist objects that are made visible on the corresponding frame. Other artists are made invisible.

intervalint, default: 200

Delay between frames in milliseconds.

repeat_delayint, default: 0

The delay in milliseconds between consecutive animation runs, if repeat is True.

repeatbool, default: True

Whether the animation repeats when the sequence of frames is completed.

blitbool, default: False

Whether blitting is used to optimize drawing.

__init__(fig, artists, *args, **kwargs)[source]

Methods

__init__(fig, artists, *args, **kwargs)

new_frame_seq()

new_saved_frame_seq()

Return a new sequence of saved/cached frame information.

pause()

Pause the animation.

resume()

Resume the animation.

save(filename[, writer, fps, dpi, codec, ...])

Save the animation as a movie file by drawing every frame.

to_html5_video([embed_limit])
