How can I create animations using Python?

You can create animations in Python using libraries like Matplotlib, Pygame, or Manim. Which one are you interested in?

I'm interested in using Matplotlib. Can you give me an example?

Sure! Here's a simple example using Matplotlib to create a sine wave animation:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.animation import FuncAnimation

x = np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi, 100)
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
line, = ax.plot(x, np.sin(x))

def update(frame):
    line.set_ydata(np.sin(x + frame / 10))
    return line,

ani = FuncAnimation(fig, update, frames=100, interval=50)
plt.show()

That looks great! How do I save the animation as a video file?

You can save the animation using the save method of the FuncAnimation object. Here's how:

ani.save('sine_wave_animation.mp4', writer='ffmpeg')
