__init__(self, fps=5, codec=None, bitrate=None, extra_args=None, metadata=None)

Parameters

fps : int, default: 5

Movie frame rate (per second).

codec : str or None, default: :rc:`animation.codec`

The codec to use.

bitrate : int, default: :rc:`animation.bitrate`

The bitrate of the movie, in kilobits per second. Higher values means higher quality movies, but increase the file size. A value of -1 lets the underlying movie encoder select the bitrate.

extra_args : list of str or None, optional

Extra command-line arguments passed to the underlying movie encoder. The default, None, means to use animation.[name-of-encoder]_args for the builtin writers.

metadata : dict[str, str], default: {}

A 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.

Examples

See :

Local connectivity graph

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.

Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)

SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.

All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
