| filename : str 
The output filename, e.g., mymovie.mp4 writer : MovieWriteror str, optional 
A MovieWriterinstance to use or a key that identifies a
class to use, such as ‘ffmpeg’ or ‘mencoder’. IfNone,
defaults torcParams['animation.writer'] fps : number, optional 
frames per second in the movie. Defaults to None,
which will use the animation’s specified interval to set
the frames per second. dpi : number, optional 
Controls the dots per inch for the movie frames.  This
combined with the figure’s size in inches controls the size of
the movie.  If None, defaults to rcparam['savefig.dpi'] codec : str, optional 
The video codec to be used. Not all codecs are supported by
a given MovieWriter. IfNone,
default torcParams['animation.codec'] bitrate : number, optional 
Specifies the number of bits used per second in the
compressed movie, in kilobits per second. A higher number
means a higher quality movie, but at the cost of increased
file size. If None, defaults torcParam['animation.bitrate'] extra_args : list, optional 
List of extra string arguments to be passed to the
underlying movie utility. If None, defaults torcParams['animation.extra_args'] metadata : dict, optional 
Dictionary of keys and values for metadata to include in
the output file. Some keys that may be of use include:
title, artist, genre, subject, copyright, srcform, comment. extra_anim : list, optional 
Additional Animationobjects that should be included in
the saved movie file. These need to be from the samematplotlib.Figureinstance. Also, animation frames will
just be simply combined, so there should be a 1:1
correspondence between the frames from the different
animations. savefig_kwargs : dict, optional 
Is a dictionary containing keyword arguments to be passed
on to the ‘savefig’ command which is called repeatedly to
save the individual frames. |
