dear all,
I would like to create some animation with python and matplotlib
I try this one from matplotlib ]example
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.animation as animation
def update_line(num, data, line):
line.set_data(data[...,:num])
return line,
fig1 = plt.figure()
data = np.random.rand(2, 25)
l, = plt.plot([], [], 'r-')
plt.xlim(0, 1)
plt.ylim(0, 1)
plt.xlabel('x')
plt.title('test')
line_ani = animation.FuncAnimation(fig1, update_line, 25, fargs=(data, l),
interval=50, blit=True)
#line_ani.save('lines.mp4')
fig2 = plt.figure()
x = np.arange(-9, 10)
y = np.arange(-9, 10).reshape(-1, 1)
base = np.hypot(x, y)
ims = []
for add in np.arange(15):
ims.append((plt.pcolor(x, y, base + add, norm=plt.Normalize(0, 30)),))
im_ani = animation.ArtistAnimation(fig2, ims, interval=50, repeat_delay=3000,
blit=True)
im_ani.save('im.mp4')
plt.show()
however, I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/diedro/Desktop/temp/prova_ani.py", line 29, in <module>
ani.save('dynamic_images.mp4')
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/matplotlib/animation.py", line 127, in save
self._make_movie(filename, fps, codec, frame_prefix)

errread, errwrite)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1239, in _execute_child
raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
What's wrong? I do not understand why,
please help me
