Animation of histograms in subplot

Question

I have the following animated subplots that simulate histograms of four different distributions:

import numpy
from matplotlib.pylab import *
import matplotli         


        

Answer 1

Got it!

My iterating over n was the culprit. This does what I expected:

def updateData(curr):

    curr2=100+curr*5 

    #if curr == n: 
    #    a.event_source.stop()

    ax1.hist(x1[:curr2], normed=True, bins=20, alpha=0.5)
    ax2.hist(x2[:curr2], normed=True, bins=20, alpha=0.5)
    ax3.hist(x3[:curr2], normed=True, bins=20, alpha=0.5)
    ax4.hist(x4[:curr2], normed=True, bins=20, alpha=0.5)

simulation = animation.FuncAnimation(fig, updateData, frames=900, interval=10)

plt.show()
