Adding animations
-----------------

Animations are scraped automatically by Sphinx-gallery. If this is not
desired,
there is also a Matplotlib Google/Gmail account with username ``mplgithub``
which was used to setup the github account but can be used for other
purposes, like hosting Google docs or Youtube videos. You can embed a
Matplotlib animation in the docs by first saving the animation as a
movie using :meth:`matplotlib.animation.Animation.save`, and then
uploading to `Matplotlib's Youtube
channel <https://www.youtube.com/user/matplotlib>`_ and inserting the
embedding string youtube provides like:

.. code-block:: rst

.. raw:: html

<iframe width="420" height="315"
src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/32cjc6V0OZY"
frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>
</iframe>

An example save command to generate a movie looks like this

.. code-block:: python

ani = animation.FuncAnimation(fig, animate, np.arange(1, len(y)),
interval=25, blit=True, init_func=init)

ani.save('double_pendulum.mp4', fps=15)

Contact Michael Droettboom for the login password to upload youtube videos of
google docs to the mplgithub account.
