Animation

Sample data

Let's import PlotAPI and load our sample data.

from plotapi import Chord

matrix = [
    [0, 5, 6, 4, 7, 4],
    [5, 0, 5, 4, 6, 5],
    [6, 5, 0, 4, 5, 5],
    [4, 4, 4, 0, 5, 5],
    [7, 6, 5, 5, 0, 4],
    [4, 5, 5, 5, 4, 0],
]

names = ["Action", "Adventure", "Comedy", "Drama", "Fantasy", "Thriller"]

Demonstration

Animations can be controlled with the following parameters:

• animated_loop will result in an animation that loops forever, this is primarily useful in combination with the to_mp4() end-point to create a looping video.
• animated_intro will result in an animation that loops once, and serves as a nice introduction to your visualisation as it loads.
• animated_duration determines how long a single loop will take.

Let's try both approaches.

Animated loop

Chord(
    matrix,
    names,
    colors="league",
    wrap_labels=True,
    animated_loop=True,
    animated_duration=3000,
).show()

Animated intro

Chord(
    matrix,
    names,
    colors="orange_red",
    wrap_labels=True,
    animated_intro=True,
    animated_duration=3000,
).show()
