animation framework problem

Community matplotlib-users

Hi,

I am trying to create a multi-subplot animation with based loosely
on the animation example code, subplots.py, at
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/animation/subplots.html

A simplified version of the full code is shown at this gist:
https://gist.github.com/3613113

I am having problems getting the code to function properly. If I run
it as is, the figure appears, but no animation is done. Apparently
the setup code is called, but the code to change the frames is not.
If I comment out the call to the setup code, the method to update
the frame is called once, and that is it.

I would appreciate any help and insights that you can provide.

Thank you very much.

Confirmed. I do not see any immediate reason why your code doesn’t work. I suggest filing an issue on our github site.
