Let's keep this example as simple as possible. So let's get rid of some of these lines (we will also need to get rid of "blit=True" in order for animations to work for macosx backend, I think.

I removed extra lines but keep the TkAgg and blit=True or it does not work on OSX.

Sorry, this isn't a constructive comment, but... This is really cool! |
|
Thanks. |
|
This is really great. I've updated the code to be a little more explicit in b79cd64 which I think might be worth pulling into this PR. |
|
I also did a mouse-based demo but finally found the simple rain more peaceful and mesmerizing... |
|
Agreed. If you're happy to do so, please consider incorporating my stylistic changes, and I'll be happy to merge this. Great example, thanks @rougier. |

Stupid question: what would be the magic git command to merge your changes in my PR ? |
Rain anim

Merged, but Travis failed. |
|
wonderful, the font priority issue has migrated to 3.3 as well. Those failures are known and can be ignored. |

@pelson Do you want to do the honors? |
This is an example for the animation function displaying rain drops (kind of).
The animation is made using a scatter plot. Each drop is shown as a growing and fading disc.
In the example, there are 50 simultaneous rain drops anytime.
The use of the TkAgg backend is necessary on OSX.
It is meant to replace PR #3048 to avoid basemap dependency.
