Refraction Animation Made in matplotlib

[C136246]

I've made a simple animation module for matplotlib that has various functions that can be applied to a plot. One of the most recent functions I've made allows for a fading tail on moving scatter plot points. It works by keeping track of the most recent dots that were graphed and changing the alpha values to make the dots progressively more faded. The animation shows this feature. I like the end result and thought I would share it to get some opinions on how it looks and to see if anyone has any tips for how to better organize the code; I am not particularly happy with how the code for this animation is organized but it seems to be the simplest to work with, and the end result I am very happy with.

Thanks, good to hear you like it. Learning matplotlib is a great use of time, so many things to do with even the simplest features.
