matplotlib.animation.TimedAnimation

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

Animation subclass for time-based animation.

A new frame is drawn every interval milliseconds.

Parameters:

fig : matplotlib.figure.Figure

The figure object that is used to get draw, resize, and any other needed events.

interval : number, optional

Delay between frames in milliseconds. Defaults to 200.

repeat_delay : number, optional

If the animation in repeated, adds a delay in milliseconds before repeating the animation. Defaults to None.

repeat : bool, optional

Controls whether the animation should repeat when the sequence of frames is completed. Defaults to True.

blit : bool, optional

Controls whether blitting is used to optimize drawing. Defaults to False.

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

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

Methods

__init__(fig[, interval, repeat_delay, …])	Initialize self.
new_frame_seq()	Creates a new sequence of frame information.
new_saved_frame_seq()	Creates a new sequence of saved/cached frame information.
save(filename[, writer, fps, dpi, codec, …])	Saves a movie file by drawing every frame.
to_html5_video([embed_limit])	Returns animation as an HTML5 video tag.
to_jshtml([fps, embed_frames, default_mode])	Generate HTML representation of the animation
