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

Parameters:

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

artistslist

Each list entry a collection of artists that represent what needs to be enabled on each frame. These will be disabled for other frames.

intervalnumber, optional

Delay between frames in milliseconds. Defaults to 200.

repeat_delaynumber, optional

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

repeatbool, optional

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