matplotlib.animation.TimedAnimation

class matplotlib.animation.TimedAnimation(fig, interval=200, repeat_delay=0, repeat=True, event_source=None, *args, **kwargs) [source]

Animation subclass for time-based animation.

A new frame is drawn every interval milliseconds.

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. 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__(self, fig, interval=200, repeat_delay=0, repeat=True, event_source=None, *args, **kwargs) [source]

Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

Methods

__init__(self, fig[, interval, ...])	Initialize self.
new_frame_seq(self)	Return a new sequence of frame information.
new_saved_frame_seq(self)	Return a new sequence of saved/cached frame information.
pause(self)	Pause the animation.
resume(self)	Resume the animation.
save(self, filename[, writer, fps, dpi, ...])	Save the animation as a movie file by drawing every frame.
to_html5_video(self[, embed_limit])	Convert the animation to an HTML5 <video> tag.
to_jshtml(self[, fps, embed_frames, ...])	Generate HTML representation of the animation
