Animation tools #192

Closed rjleveque closed 7 years ago

rjleveque commented 7 years ago

Various tools for creating animations both in Jupyter notebooks and as stand-alone pages, to supplement the JSAnimation figures that appear in _plots using plotpages.py. Supports making animations via interacts, sometimes preferable in notebooks, and also creating .mp4 files and .rst files for Sphinx -- see for example http://faculty.washington.edu/rjl/classes/am574w2017/examples.html.

The notebook animation_tools.py illustrates many features.

I've been developing these over the past several months and they seem useful enough to incorporate now, but I'm sure many improvements could be made.

Do you want to merge this in as is or hold off?

rjleveque commented 7 years ago

I'm going to merge it for now, we can improve later perhaps. Note that there's also some overlap with src/python/visclaw/JSAnimation/JSAnimation_frametools.py, which could be eliminated in the future.
