[Matplotlib-users] Animation of a scatter plot with a large number of points

[German O. <ger...@gm...>]

Good afternoon.

I have a list of 20000 points with coordinates x,y and category in three
lists.

x_coordinate=[3000,3100,3234,.....]
x_coordinate=[15678,16768,14590,.....]
category=[1,3,5,....]

The categories values are between [1 and 10]

I need to make a 2D animation of this in matplotlib, starting showing the
first element and finalizing showing all elements in the graph, showing the
color points cording to the category.

I tried modifying the example of animatedScatter, but I can see that the
number of points in the scatter plot is constant from the beginning. is
there any way to make the program, for example show in the first time step
one element one point in the second time step, two points, etc? and also
one important thing is could cop with a big list of points with the minimum
lag of time in the animation?

Many thanks for your help
