The documentation for matplotlib.animation.FuncAnimation says: init_func : […] This function will be called once before the first frame. But whenever I use FuncAnimation, the init_func is called multiple times. You can see this by adding a print statement to the basic example from Matplotlib’s website: Apart from producing a lovely plot, it immediately gives the standard output: If I keep

This cannot be achieved in the usual way (creating one Quiver object and updating it with each frame of the animation) because although there is a set_UVC method for updating the u, v components, there is no equivalent method for changing the x, y position
Display numpy array in a for loop using matplotlib imshow
I have a numpy array whose elements are updated in a for loop: I want to display the array at each iteration, but imshow() doesn’t work, it just displays the image once the loop terminates. ps. I’m using an Ipython notebook I found different things on the web but none of them work on my computer (for example I tried
generate video pixel by pixel, programmatically
I’d like to generate an animation pixel by pixel programmatically. Preferably in Hi-Def, in Python or in Ruby. I thought about using PIL to make each frame and then convert the frames into video. Is there a better way to do this? EDIT: Clarification, this is 2D and I need the pixels to be precise. EDITEDIT: Something like this: Would
