animate(graphics, fig, n_steps=None, export_path='./', export_name='animation', overwrite=False, format='gif', fps=5, writer=None)[source]#

Animation helper function.

Call this function with a configured Graphics instance and the respective figure. This function will export an animation with the results from the do_mpc.data.Data object.

Either specify format and fps or supply a configured writer (e.g. ImageMagickWriter for gifs).

Parameters:

  • graphics (Graphics) – Configured Graphics instance.

  • fig (figure) – Matplotlib Figure.

  • n_steps (int) – number of time steps for the animation.

  • export_path (str) – Path where to export the animation. Directory will be created if it doesn’t exist.

  • export_name (str) – Name of the resulting animation (gif/mp4) file.

  • overwrite (bool) – Check if export_name already exists in the supplied directory and overwrite or alter export_name.

  • format (str) – Choose between gif or mp4.

  • fps (int) – Frames per second for the resulting animation.

  • writer (Union[FFMpegWriter, ImageMagickWriter]) – If supplied, the fps and format argument are discarded. Use this to configure your own writer.
