This is an example for the animation function displaying animated earthquakes from the last 30 days. It uses the basemap toolkit and reads information from http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/v1.0/csv.php

The animation is made using a scatter plot. Each earthquake is shown as a growing and fading filled disc. In the example, there are 50 simultaneous anytime.

The use of the TkAgg backend is necessary on OSX.

This seems like a really cool example (I don't have base map on this computer to test), but it probably should go in the basemap repository, not in mpl (to keep all the dependencies oneway). @pelson Thoughts?

No problem, I will make a new PR without basemap.
