PR Summary
Fixes #17908 . As documented in the issue, various animation writers support different formats, and there is no way to set the format directly from the API. This forces users to go through rcParams, but rcParams only listed a subset of frame formats.
This PR extends the supported frame formats in
rcsetup.py
to support any format supported by at least one writer. If the user selects a format that is not supported by their chosen writer, an exception will be raised at runtime (rather than at configuration time). This will allow a user to, for example, usesvg
format forjshtml
output, which is not currently possible.PR Checklist
