The easiest way to create animations using plots.

This small Python package lets you store seperate matplotlib plots to create a video.

Installation

pip install plot2vid

Basic Usage

from plot2vid import PlotRecorder
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Setup
recorder = PlotRecorder("out.mp4")
fig = plt.figure()

for i in range(90):
    # Setting the plot limits
    plt.xlim(0,100)
    plt.ylim(0,100)

    # Plotting
    plt.scatter([i], [i])

    # Recording the frame
    recorder.add(fig)

    # Clearing the plot
    plt.clf()

# Storing the result
recorder.close()

The above code creates this video.
