Hi.
I'm using windows 7, with python(x,y) 2.7.5.0 installed. I then installed
matplotlib 1.3.1 and imagemagick.
Something goes wrong when try to save animation as a gif file.
I used a base_animation.py within ipython notebook as followed:
code:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
import numpy as np
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
from matplotlib import animation
# First set up the figure, the axis, and the plot element we want to animate
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, xlim=(0, 2), ylim=(-2, 2))
line, = ax.plot([], [], lw=2)
# initialization function: plot the background of each frame
def init():
line.set_data([], [])
return line,
# animation function. This is called sequentially
def animate(i):
x = np.linspace(0, 2, 1000)
y = np.sin(2 * np.pi * (x - 0.01 * i))
line.set_data(x, y)
return line,
# call the animator. blit=True means only re-draw the parts that have
changed.
anim = animation.FuncAnimation(fig, animate, init_func=init,
frames=100, interval=20, blit=True)
# this is how you save your animation to file:
#anim.save('animation.gif', writer='imagemagick_file', fps=30)
anim.save('animation.gif', writer='imagemagick', fps=30)
plt.show()
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And I got an error message like this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------RuntimeError

Can anybody help?
