Description
Hello,
I'm trying to use the ArtistAnimation to animate a plot, now if I simply use one plotting function I can follow the examples of the documentation. If I try to add more than one plot to the same artist collection (to be shown in the same frame), I get an error and a static figure with the superposition of all the artists.
I attach a minimal example, ideally I would like to have the following things as outcome:
- shape of the plot to be changing with the time frame
t - data plotted marked by points and line
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.animation as animation
fig = plt.figure()
x = np.arange(-9, 10)
y = np.arange(-9, 10).reshape(-1, 1)
ims = []
for t in np.arange(15):
ims.append((plt.plot(x+t,y+t**2), plt.scatter(x+t,y+t**2)))
im_ani = animation.ArtistAnimation(fig, ims, interval=50, repeat_delay=3000,
blit=True)
plt.show()However I get an error and the plot is not an animation anymore if I also try to add the scatter of points

AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'set_visible'Since the documentation example doesn't cover this case and to me the line here sounds pretty vague about the collection of artists to be used, can I have some help?
artistslist
Each list entry is a collection of artists that are made visible on the corresponding frame. Other artists are made invisible.
