Maptplotlib Animation - peterjv26 - Sep-23-2021 Hi, I was trying to understand myplotlib animation. Watched few tutorial videos and prepared the below code which is pretty much a copy/paste from one of the tutorials. I am trying to run this in Spyder 4.1.5. I was expecting to see an animated plot when I run this code, but all I get is a blank figure and xcord and ycord lists printed once. Can someone help and point out what am I doing wrong? import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from matplotlib.animation import FuncAnimation from itertools import count import random xcord = [] ycord = [5] index = count() xcord.append(next(index)) def animate(i): xcord.append(next(index)) ycord.append(random.randint(0,5)) plt.cla() plt.plot(xcord,ycord) fig, ax = plt.subplots(1,1) print(xcord) print(ycord) ani = FuncAnimation(fig,animate,interval=1000) plt.tight_layout() plt.show()
RE: Maptplotlib Animation - peterjv26 - Sep-24-2021 Can someone help with this please? If I add some print statements within my animate(i) function, those are not getting printed. It seems animate(i) is not getting called from FuncAnimate(). I am stuck with this. Appreciate any help RE: Maptplotlib Animation - peterjv26 - Sep-26-2021 My problem seems to be with Anaconda/Spyder. I tried a fresh install of python and tried some of the animation code in the REPL window of new install and it works. The same code does not work on Anaconda/Spyder window. Any config setting etc to be done on Anaconda for animation to work? RE: Maptplotlib Animation - peterjv26 - Sep-26-2021 Got an answer from Stack Overflow. In Spyder I need Tools->Preferences->Graphics->Backend to anything other than Inline. That fixed the issue. RE: Maptplotlib Animation - jefsummers - Sep-26-2021 Thanks for posting this. I had tackled the problem and ran into similar headaches. Finally got it working, at least the sine wave and rain demos by using VSCode. I launch that from within Anaconda and use conda for managing the environment and it worked there. |
