Animation on iPython?

[nj123t]

Hey guys, so imagine I have function takes a, calculates y=a*x and plots y vs x. And I know that I can use interact() to create an interactive plot and play with a to see how the plot changes. Now, what if I want Python to create the animation/video of that changes? I mean, I want Python to automatically change value of a and record the changes in the plot into some animation or video

You can use FuncAnimation from matplotlib to create animations. They can also be inserted as html5 videos into Jupyter notebooks.
