What I use to create animations is plainly: savefig(head+str(filecode).zfill(digits)+format, dpi=205) plt.clf() filecode+=1
where filecode is the name, digits an int and format usually .png. clf() is important in order to prevent memory leaks, because otherwise mpl stores all the figures one in top of the other, consuming a lot of resources once you have a several images. To stick all of them together, I use a video editor.
