Mac OSX - AttributeError: 'FigureCanvasMac' object has no attribute 'restore_region'

Question

Walking through matplotlib\'s animation example on my Mac OSX machine - http://matplotlib.org/examples/animation/simple_anim.html - I am getting this error:-

Answer 1

Just set

blit=False

when animation.FuncAnimation() is called and it will work.

For instance (from double_pendulum_animated):

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