# TODO:
# * Documentation -- this will need a new section of the User's Guide.
#      Both for Animations and just timers.
#   - Also need to update http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/Animations
# * Blit
#   * Currently broken with Qt4 for widgets that don't start on screen
#   * Still a few edge cases that aren't working correctly
#   * Can this integrate better with existing matplotlib animation artist flag?
#     - If animated removes from default draw(), perhaps we could use this to
#       simplify initial draw.
# * Example
#   * Frameless animation - pure procedural with no loop
#   * Need example that uses something like inotify or subprocess
#   * Complex syncing examples
# * Movies
#   * Can blit be enabled for movies?
# * Need to consider event sources to allow clicking through multiple figures

    setup() is called to start the process and finish() is called afterwards.

        filename : str
            The output filename, e.g., :file:`mymovie.mp4`.

        writer : :class:`MovieWriter` or str, optional

           Frames per second in the movie. Defaults to ``None``, which will use
           the animation's specified interval to set the frames per second.

        dpi : number, optional
           Controls the dots per inch for the movie frames.  This combined with
           the figure's size in inches controls the size of the movie.  If
           ``None``, defaults to :rc:`savefig.dpi`.

        bitrate : number, optional
           Specifies the number of bits used per second in the compressed
           movie, in kilobits per second. A higher number means a higher
           quality movie, but at the cost of increased file size. If ``None``,
           defaults to :rc:`animation.bitrate` = -1.

        extra_args : list, optional
           List of extra string arguments to be passed to the underlying movie
           utility. If ``None``, defaults to :rc:`animation.extra_args`.

        metadata : Dict[str, str], optional
           Dictionary of keys and values for metadata to include in
           the output file. Some keys that may be of use include:
           title, artist, genre, subject, copyright, srcform, comment.

        extra_anim : list, optional
           Additional `Animation` objects that should be included
           in the saved movie file. These need to be from the same
           `matplotlib.figure.Figure` instance. Also, animation frames will
           just be simply combined, so there should be a 1:1 correspondence
           between the frames from the different animations.

        savefig_kwargs : dict, optional
           Is a dictionary containing keyword arguments to be passed
           on to the `savefig` command which is called repeatedly to
           save the individual frames.

        other frames.

    interval : number, optional
       Delay between frames in milliseconds.  Defaults to 200.

    repeat_delay : number, optional
        If the animation in repeated, adds a delay in milliseconds
        before repeating the animation.  Defaults to ``None``.

    repeat : bool, optional

class FuncAnimation(TimedAnimation):
    """
    Makes an animation by repeatedly calling a function *func*.

    Parameters
    ----------
    fig : matplotlib.figure.Figure
       The figure object that is used to get draw, resize, and any
       other needed events.

    func : callable
       The function to call at each frame.  The first argument will
       be the next value in *frames*.   Any additional positional
       arguments can be supplied via the *fargs* parameter.

       The required signature is::

          def func(frame, *fargs) -> iterable_of_artists

       If ``blit == True``, *func* must return an iterable of all artists
       that were modified or created. This information is used by the blitting
       algorithm to determine which parts of the figure have to be updated.
       The return value is unused if ``blit == False`` and may be omitted in
       that case.

    frames : iterable, int, generator function, or None, optional
        Source of data to pass *func* and each frame of the animation

        - If an iterable, then simply use the values provided.  If the
          iterable has a length, it will override the *save_count* kwarg.

        - If an integer, then equivalent to passing ``range(frames)``

        - If a generator function, then must have the signature::

             def gen_function() -> obj

        - If *None*, then equivalent to passing ``itertools.count``.

        In all of these cases, the values in *frames* is simply passed through
        to the user-supplied *func* and thus can be of any type.

    init_func : callable, optional
       A function used to draw a clear frame. If not given, the
       results of drawing from the first item in the frames sequence
       will be used. This function will be called once before the
       first frame.

       The required signature is::

          def init_func() -> iterable_of_artists

       If ``blit == True``, *init_func* must return an iterable of artists
       to be re-drawn. This information is used by the blitting
       algorithm to determine which parts of the figure have to be updated.
       The return value is unused if ``blit == False`` and may be omitted in
       that case.

    fargs : tuple or None, optional
       Additional arguments to pass to each call to *func*.

    save_count : int, optional
       The number of values from *frames* to cache.

    interval : number, optional
       Delay between frames in milliseconds.  Defaults to 200.

    repeat_delay : number, optional
       If the animation in repeated, adds a delay in milliseconds
       before repeating the animation.  Defaults to *None*.

    repeat : bool, optional
       Controls whether the animation should repeat when the sequence
       of frames is completed.  Defaults to *True*.

    blit : bool, optional
       Controls whether blitting is used to optimize drawing. Note: when using
       blitting any animated artists will be drawn according to their zorder.
       However, they will be drawn on top of any previous artists, regardless
       of their zorder.  Defaults to *False*.
