[Matplotlib-users] animation optimization

[Bruno P. <bru...@gm...>]

Hey all,

I am trying to produce an animation from several images generated with
imshow from a sequence of arrays in time, I have done that in several ways.
However, my animations consist of several frames (on the order of 10000
frames) and thus the simulation crashes when it's too large.

The solution I found was writing the png files and then animating. It is
very time and memory consuming, though, and I have the impression it is not
the best solution to tackle this problem. What is the best practice to deal
with this problem?

Thanks!

Bruno

P.S.: I'm using Ipython, would it change running from a terminal instead of
running it from the shell?
