[Matplotlib-users] Creating frames for use with ArtistAnimation?

[reckoner <rec...@gm...>]

Hi,

I am creating a big and complicated plot by doing things like:

ax.add_patch( ... )

and when I'm done I want to save the resulting frame. However, I've 
looked  through
the examples and it seems like you have to use plot() or pcolor() to 
create frames that you
can feed into ArtistAnimation.

So,then, how can I use capture the resulting axes into a frame?

Thanks!
