A tiny Python library that simplifies creating Matplotlib animations by wrapping a figure in a Camera object that snapshots each frame. It adapts existing plotting code into animations with minimal changes and works well in Jupyter notebooks.

Use cases

  • animate matplotlib plots
  • create animation from existing plotting code
  • make animated gif or mp4 of plots
  • animate subplots in matplotlib
  • show plot animations in jupyter notebook
  • animate image frames with matplotlib

When to choose

  • you already have matplotlib plotting code and want to animate it with minimal changes
  • you want a simpler API than matplotlib.animation.FuncAnimation
  • you work in Jupyter notebooks and want inline video output

When to avoid

  • you need fine-grained control over animation timing or blitting
  • you need interactive or real-time animations
  • you use plotting libraries other than matplotlib
