ANIAnimator.animate(anifile="graphene.ANI", camera=((40, 0, 0),
                                                    (0, 0, 0),
                                                    (0, 1, 0))) # if you need to set the camera

In terminal

About bonds_param parameter

ANIAnimator uses mogli to create PNG images of the steps in ANI files. The default of mogli package is 1.0. ANIAnimator default is 1.3 since the experience shows that 1.3 is better. For details, see the README.md of mogli package.
