Matplotlib animation not displaying correctly in Colab

Question

I know there are previous answers to this question but for some reason I cannot seem to get the animation to show. Instead all the frames of the animation are overlayed in a figure that appears below the blank animation

from matplotlib import animation
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.animation import FuncAnimation
import random
from matplotlib import rc
rc('animation', html='jshtml')

# This is setup code
class_capacity = [100, 100, 100]
classes = ["CS1301", "CS1331", "CS1332"]
current_enrolled_students = [10, 0, 0]
fig, axes = plt.subplots(figsize=(8,6))
#axes =fig.add_subplot()
axes.set_ylim(0, 100)

cmap = plt.get_cmap("jet")

def animate(i):
    axes.clear()
    axes.set_ylim(0, 100)
    for i in range(len(current_enrolled_students)):
        current_enrolled_students[i] = random.randint(0, class_capacity[i])
    barlist = plt.bar(classes, current_enrolled_students)
    for i in range(len(barlist)):
        barlist[i].set_color(cmap(current_enrolled_students[i] / class_capacity[i]))

ani = FuncAnimation(fig, animate, interval=400, blit=False, frames=9, repeat=False)
#plt.close()
#plt.show()
ani

I was trying to replicate a somewhat similar project found here

I'm fairly certain the mistake is minor but I cannot figure out where exactly the problem is. Any help is appreciated

I think the cause is the use of plt.bar in the animation function. I think changing this to axes.bar() and closing the initial graph will complete the animation.

from matplotlib import animation
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.animation import FuncAnimation
import random
from matplotlib import rc
rc('animation', html='jshtml')

# This is setup code
class_capacity = [100, 100, 100]
classes = ["CS1301", "CS1331", "CS1332"]
current_enrolled_students = [10, 0, 0]
fig, axes = plt.subplots(figsize=(8,6))
#axes =fig.add_subplot()
axes.set_ylim(0, 100)

cmap = plt.get_cmap("jet")

def animate(i):
    axes.clear()
    #axes.set_ylim(0, 100)
    for i in range(len(current_enrolled_students)):
        current_enrolled_students[i] = random.randint(0, class_capacity[i])
    barlist = axes.bar(classes, current_enrolled_students)
    for i in range(len(barlist)):
        barlist[i].set_color(cmap(current_enrolled_students[i] / class_capacity[i]))

ani = FuncAnimation(fig, animate, interval=400, blit=False, frames=9, repeat=False)
plt.close()
#plt.show()
ani

I have the same problem. Thank to Kalibril, I can run animation on colab.

import matplotlib.animation
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from itertools import count
import random

plt.rcParams["animation.html"] = "jshtml"
plt.rcParams['figure.dpi'] = 150  

plt.ioff()
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
x_value = []
y_value = []
index = count();
def animate(t):
    x_value.append(next(index))
    y_value.append(random.randint(0,10))
    ax.cla()
    ax.plot(x_value,y_value)
    ax.set_xlim(0,10)

matplotlib.animation.FuncAnimation(fig, animate, frames=10, interval = 500)
