Problem

I would like to use named arguments in FuncAnimation.

Currently:

ani = matplotlib.animation.FuncAnimation(  fig, update, frames=len(raw_history),  interval=500, repeat=True, repeat_delay=1,  fargs=(raw_history, action_history, style))

This would be slightly cumbersome when I change the order / type of arguments my function accepts. I could usefunctools to attach named parameters to the functionupdate, but it would be nice ifFuncAnimation can support this feature.

Proposed Solution

ani = matplotlib.animation.FuncAnimation(  fig, update, frames=len(raw_history),  interval=500, repeat=True, repeat_delay=1,  fkwargs={'raw_history': raw_history, 'action_history': action_history, 'style': style})

We keep thefargs parameter, but we also add anfkwargs for keyword parameters.
