[Matplotlib-users] Callback mechanism for animation completed?

[Thomas Caswell]

Paul,

Sorry for the very late response!

I would suggest passing in a function as a custom argument which takes the
frame number and returns your parameter.

For example (modified from the docs)

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.animation import FuncAnimation

decades = 5

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
xdata, ydata = [], []
ln, = plt.plot([], [], 'ro', animated=True)
ax.set_xlim(1, 10**decades)
ax.set_ylim(1, (10.0**(decades*(decades - 1))))
ax.set_yscale('log')
ax.set_xscale('log')


def init():
    return ln,

def update(frame, exp_func):
    xdata.append(frame)
    ydata.append(frame ** exp_func(frame))
    ln.set_data(xdata, ydata)
    return ln,

ani = FuncAnimation(fig, update, frames=np.logspace(0, decades),
                    init_func=init, blit=True,
                    fargs=(lambda frame: int(np.log10(frame)),))
plt.show()
