matplotlib.animation.FFMpegFileWriter#

class matplotlib.animation.FFMpegFileWriter(*args, **kwargs)[source]#

Frames are written to temporary files on disk and then stitched together at the end.

This effectively works as a slideshow input to ffmpeg with the fps passed as -framerate, so see also their notes on frame rates for further details.

Parameters:
