matplotlib.animation.ArtistAnimation

class matplotlib.animation.ArtistAnimation(fig, artists, *args, **kwargs)

Animation using a fixed set of Artist objects.

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

Parameters:

figFigure

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

artistslist

Each list entry is a collection of artists 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__(self, fig, artists, *args, **kwargs)

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