[Matplotlib-users] New animation framework?

[Åke K. <ake...@gm...>]

I am a heavy user of the animation blit technique as descried here
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/event_handling.html#draggable-rectangle-exercise
and
here http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/Animations.

I just saw there is a new animation framework. Is this framework meant to
replace the above technique (a good example of it is the  extra credit
solution from the first link)? If so, how can I use the new framework in
place of the old one?
