petar.movie: default value of -m not working?

[kaiwu-astro]

Hi! I am trying petar.movie . I have installed ffmpeg and imageio[ffmpeg] as backend. When I run this command

size_=8; petar.movie -i bse -t galpy --generate-binary 2 --x-min -$size_ --x-max $size_ --y-min -$size_ --y-max $size_ snapList

It gives empty figures and an empty movie like this:

If I explicitly set -m x-y then it produces figures and movie correctly.

size_=8; petar.movie -m x-y -i bse -t galpy --generate-binary 2 --x-min -$size_ --x-max $size_ --y-min -$size_ --y-max $size_ snapList

I noticed that the help message says -m has default value of x-y, but it seems I need to explicitly set this kwarg. Is it my problem or there is something wrong?

Another small thing is that: petar.data.process supports both -i and --interrupt-mode; both -t and --external-mode, while only the short form is supported in petar.movie. I personally love the long option form to avoid confusion to myself. It would be nice to add support of the long form in petar.movie as well.

I have checked and found this is a bug. Now it is fixed and the default plot is -m x-y

Thank you for fixing this, and thank you for considering my suggestions 👍
