I'm trying to plot two rotating ellipses using the Matplotlib animation library, and I managed to get it working (more or less). The problem is that the first frame that is being rendered does not update, so while I got two rotating ellipses in my canvas, I also have the ellipses in their original position/orientation. Check out my simple piece of code:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.patches import Ellipse
from matplotlib import animation
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, aspect='equal')
e1 = Ellipse(xy=(0.5, 0.5), width=0.5, height=0.2, angle=60)
e2 = Ellipse(xy=(0.8, 0.8), width=0.5, height=0.2, angle=100)
def init():
ax.add_patch(e1)
ax.add_patch(e2)
return [e1,e2]
def animate(i):
e1.angle = e1.angle + 0.5
e2.angle = e2.angle + 0.5
return [e1,e2]
anim = animation.FuncAnimation(fig, animate, init_func=init, interval=1, blit=True)
plt.show()
Any idea how to fix this? I could of course turn off blit, but that makes it horribly slow, so that's not really an option.
EDIT: Final (working) Code
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.patches import Ellipse
from matplotlib import animation
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, aspect='equal')
e1 = Ellipse(xy=(0.5, 0.5), width=0.5, height=0.2, angle=60)
e2 = Ellipse(xy=(0.8, 0.8), width=0.5, height=0.2, angle=100)
ax.add_patch(e1)
ax.add_patch(e2)
def init():
e1.set_visible(False)
e2.set_visible(False)
return [e1,e2]
def animate(i):
if i == 1:
e1.set_visible(True)
e2.set_visible(True)
e1.angle = e1.angle + 0.5
e2.angle = e2.angle + 0.5
return [e1,e2]
anim = animation.FuncAnimation(fig, animate, init_func=init, interval=1, blit=True)
plt.show()
