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

fig Figure

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

interval int, default: 200

Delay between frames in milliseconds.

repeat_delay int, default: 0

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

repeat bool, default: True

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

blit bool, default: False

Whether blitting is used to optimize drawing.

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

Methods
