# TODO:
# * Loop Delay is broken on GTKAgg. This is because source_remove() is not
# working as we want. PyGTK bug?
# * Documentation -- this will need a new section of the User's Guide.
# Both for Animations and just timers.
# - Also need to update http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/Animations
# * Blit
# * Currently broken with Qt4 for widgets that don't start on screen
# * Still a few edge cases that aren't working correctly
# * Can this integrate better with existing matplotlib animation artist flag?
# - If animated removes from default draw(), perhaps we could use this to
# simplify initial draw.
# * Example
# * Frameless animation - pure procedural with no loop
# * Need example that uses something like inotify or subprocess
# * Complex syncing examples
# * Movies
# * Can blit be enabled for movies?
# * Need to consider event sources to allow clicking through multiple figures

Abstract base class for writing movies. Fundamentally, what a MovieWriter
does is provide is a way to grab frames by calling grab_frame().
setup() is called to start the process and finish() is called afterwards.
This class is set up to provide for writing movie frame data to a pipe.
saving() is provided as a context manager to facilitate this process as::
with moviewriter.saving(fig, outfile='myfile.mp4', dpi=100):
# Iterate over frames
moviewriter.grab_frame(**savefig_kwargs)
The use of the context manager ensures that setup() and finish() are
performed as necessary.

``writer`` argument of `Animation.save()`.

The bitrate for the saved movie file, which is one way to control
the output file size and quality. The default value is ``None``,

Examples include timers (see :class:`TimedAnimation`) and file

Parameters
----------
filename : str
The output filename, e.g., :file:`mymovie.mp4`.
writer : :class:`MovieWriter` or str, optional
A `MovieWriter` instance to use or a key that identifies a
class to use, such as 'ffmpeg'. If ``None``, defaults to
:rc:`animation.writer`.
fps : number, optional
Frames per second in the movie. Defaults to ``None``, which will use
the animation's specified interval to set the frames per second.
dpi : number, optional
Controls the dots per inch for the movie frames. This combined with
the figure's size in inches controls the size of the movie. If
``None``, defaults to :rc:`savefig.dpi`.
codec : str, optional
The video codec to be used. Not all codecs are supported
by a given :class:`MovieWriter`. If ``None``, default to
:rc:`animation.codec`.
bitrate : number, optional
Specifies the number of bits used per second in the compressed
movie, in kilobits per second. A higher number means a higher
quality movie, but at the cost of increased file size. If ``None``,
defaults to :rc:`animation.bitrate`.
extra_args : list, optional
List of extra string arguments to be passed to the underlying movie
utility. If ``None``, defaults to :rc:`animation.extra_args`.
metadata : Dict[str, str], optional
Dictionary of keys and values for metadata to include in
the output file. Some keys that may be of use include:
title, artist, genre, subject, copyright, srcform, comment.
extra_anim : list, optional
Additional `Animation` objects that should be included
in the saved movie file. These need to be from the same
`matplotlib.figure.Figure` instance. Also, animation frames will
just be simply combined, so there should be a 1:1 correspondence
between the frames from the different animations.
savefig_kwargs : dict, optional
Is a dictionary containing keyword arguments to be passed
on to the `savefig` command which is called repeatedly to
save the individual frames.
Notes
-----
fps, codec, bitrate, extra_args, metadata are used to
construct a :class:`MovieWriter` instance and can only be

class FuncAnimation(TimedAnimation):
'''
Makes an animation by repeatedly calling a function ``func``.
Parameters
----------
fig : matplotlib.figure.Figure
The figure object that is used to get draw, resize, and any
other needed events.
func : callable
The function to call at each frame. The first argument will
be the next value in ``frames``. Any additional positional
arguments can be supplied via the ``fargs`` parameter.
The required signature is::
def func(frame, *fargs) -> iterable_of_artists:
frames : iterable, int, generator function, or None, optional
Source of data to pass ``func`` and each frame of the animation
If an iterable, then simply use the values provided. If the
iterable has a length, it will override the ``save_count`` kwarg.
If an integer, then equivalent to passing ``range(frames)``
If a generator function, then must have the signature::
def gen_function() -> obj:
If ``None``, then equivalent to passing ``itertools.count``.
In all of these cases, the values in *frames* is simply passed through
to the user-supplied *func* and thus can be of any type.
init_func : callable, optional
A function used to draw a clear frame. If not given, the
results of drawing from the first item in the frames sequence
will be used. This function will be called once before the
first frame.
If ``blit == True``, ``init_func`` must return an iterable of artists
to be re-drawn.
The required signature is::
def init_func() -> iterable_of_artists:
fargs : tuple or None, optional
Additional arguments to pass to each call to *func*.
save_count : int, optional
The number of values from *frames* to cache.
interval : number, optional
Delay between frames in milliseconds. Defaults to 200.
repeat_delay : number, optional
If the animation in repeated, adds a delay in milliseconds
before repeating the animation. Defaults to ``None``.
repeat : bool, optional
Controls whether the animation should repeat when the sequence
of frames is completed. Defaults to ``True``.
blit : bool, optional
Controls whether blitting is used to optimize drawing. Defaults
to ``False``.
