Any example about how to annotate over the players with Animations? #58

Hi Andrew,

Using StatsBomb and your framework, I am trying to add the following information inside the animation function:

Jersey_number of home and away players, but I cannot achieve it (I got the following exception: AttributeError: 'FuncAnimation' object has no attribute 'annotate')

pitch.annotate('?', (awayTeamXandYPosition.x[i], awayTeamXandYPosition.y[i]), va='center', ha='center', color='white', fontsize=15, ax=ax['pitch'])

Update the plt title, but I got a similar exception.

https://matplotlib.org/stable/api/_as_gen/matplotlib.pyplot.title.html?highlight=title#matplotlib.pyplot.title

Could you help me?

Thank you!

Cheers, Paco.

If you don't need an arrow you could try ax.text?

Thank you!!!! I have achieved it ;)

What about the pitch.annotate? Any ideas?

Thanks again!

I would try Thomas Kuhn's suggestion here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18351932/animate-points-with-labels-with-matplotlib

Would you mind posting your ax.text solution as a reply or adding it to the example as a pull request? It might help some other people.

Thank you!

For the ax.text solution:

Firstly, I create an instance of that in the init function: self.time_text = self.axis.text(0.5, 0.5, '')
Secondly, I set the text in the animation function: self.time_text.set_text('Hello world!')
Finally, animation function returns the Actor "self.time_text"

Cheers, Paco.

Thank you for your fast response :)

Yes, I tried it, but the pitch is empty (neither players nor text):

I share with you the animation.py in pastebin:

Thanks.
