Problem
It'd be good to have a one stop animation tutorial that gives an overview of the different animation methods and different writers. This overlaps with#19520 and#24159 and advocated for in#22374
Mostly opened this issue so we could maybe hash out a proposed outline & document what folks would want in a tutorial.
Suggested improvement
Tutorial sections
- Animation Classes - brief overview of funcanimation and artist animation1:
- FuncAnimation: most common artist types2:
- Line2D
- PathCollection
- AxesImage
- maybe patches and contours?
- ArtistAnimation
- FuncAnimation: most common artist types2:
- Animation Writers:
- demos of saving a
FuncAnimation
and anArtistAnimation
with each - possibly the table of
(writer, file types, dependencies)
proposed in[Doc]: clarify which writers animation.save supports #24159 should be here
- demos of saving a

Footnotes
I think it's that func takes a function that updates an artist and may or may not return it, while artist takes the list of changed artists? A pro/con table or table of use cases would also maybe be good↩
yes this might change if a unified abstraction goes in but that's probably ages out so documenting current state is useful↩
