Introduction
Matplotlib is a data visualization library used to create static, animated, and interactive visualizations in Python. In this lab, we will learn how to create an animated plot using Matplotlib. We will use the FuncAnimation
class to create an animation of a decaying sine wave.
VM Tips
After the VM startup is done, click the top left corner to switch to the Notebook tab to access Jupyter Notebook for practice.
Sometimes, you may need to wait a few seconds for Jupyter Notebook to finish loading. The validation of operations cannot be automated because of limitations in Jupyter Notebook.
If you face issues during learning, feel free to ask Labby. Provide feedback after the session, and we will promptly resolve the problem for you.
