API

Animatplot is build on top of three main classes:

• Animation
• Block
• Timeline

A Timeline holds the information and logic to actually control the timing of all animations.

A Block represent any “thing” that is to be animated.

An Animation is a composition of a list of blocks and a timeline. This class builds the final animation.

Animation

Animation(blocks[, timeline, fig])

The foundation of all animations.

Timeline

Timeline(t[, units, fps, log])

An object to contain and control all of the time

blocks

Blocks handle the animation of different types of data. The following blocks are available in animatplot.blocks.

Block([axis, t_axis])	A base class for blocks
Line(x, y[, axis, t_axis])	Animates lines
Quiver(X, Y, U, V[, axis, t_axis])	A block for animated quiver plots
Pcolormesh(*args[, axis, t_axis])	Animates a pcolormesh
Imshow(images[, axis, t_axis])	Animates a series of images
Nuke(func, axis, length[, fargs])	For when the other blocks just won’t do
