Matplotlib funcanimation blit慢

Question

我在Matplotlib中遇到慢动画问题。我正在模拟一个模拟结果，最简单的可视化方法是使用随时间变化颜色的矩形数组。

根据建议here，我正在使用blitting来绘制每帧中变化的（小部分）矩形。我也尝试使用FuncAnimation来实现它，但是当使用Blit = True时，脚本运行得慢得多。

我想知道这是因为我将所有矩形返回到FuncAnimation，所以即使它们没有改变，它也会重绘所有这些。有没有办法将每一帧的不同艺术家传递给FuncAnimation？我试着传递一个已经改变的元组（“animate”函数中注释掉的块）的元组，但这导致了看似随机的动画帧...

使用：

$ python2 [script].py blit
$ python2 [script].py anim

谢谢！

每帧更新600个矩形非常慢，代码中的cbar_blit模式更快，因为您只更新了颜色被更改的矩形。您可以使用PatchCollection加速绘图，这是代码：

import numpy as np
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use("TkAgg")
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.animation as manim
from matplotlib.collections import PatchCollection

Nx = 30
Ny = 20
numtimes = 100

size = 0.5

x, y = np.ogrid[-1:1:30j, -1:1:20j]

data = np.zeros((numtimes, Nx, Ny))

for i in range(numtimes):
    data[i] = (x-i*0.02+1)**2 + y**2

colors = plt.cm.rainbow(data)

fig, ax = plt.subplots()

rects = []
for (i,j),c in np.ndenumerate(data[0]):
    rect = plt.Rectangle([i - size / 2, j - size / 2],size, size)
    rects.append(rect)

collection = PatchCollection(rects, animated=True)

ax.add_collection(collection)
ax.autoscale_view(True)


def animate(tind):
    c = colors[tind].reshape(-1, 4)
    collection.set_facecolors(c)    
    return (collection,)

ani = manim.FuncAnimation(fig, animate, frames=numtimes,
        interval=10, blit=True, repeat=False)

plt.show()
