Hello,
I’d like to embed an animation in my pluto NB. I don’t want to create an MP4 (if possible) - I just want the animation to loop. The animation itself is just a line plot. I tried following the post here. My MWE is below.
begin
using GLMakie
# animation settings
framerate = 30
# Data is x and y
# x is a 1-dimensional grid from 0 to 1
# y is a 100x2 matrix where each element of the second column
# is a vector containing the line plot at a different time step
nframes = 2:length(y[1:end,2])
fig, ax, pl = lines(x, y[1, 2]) # initial condition
record(fig, nframes; framerate = framerate) do p
pl[1] = y[nframes, 2]
end
end
When I try to run the cell I get the error
MethodError: Cannot `convert` an object of type Vector{Float64} to an object of type Float64
If I inspect pl[1] I can see what looks like the plotted points in GeometryBasics.Point but I have no idea how to access them. Perhaps there is something obvious here - if so I apologize, I am new to Makie.
I also tried creating the animation using Observables. Shown below.
begin
oy = Observable(y[1, 2])
fig = Figure()
display(fig)
ax = Axis(fig[1, 1])
lines!(ax, x, oy)
ylims!(ax, 0, 1)
for time_step = 2:length(y[:, 1])
oy[] = y[time_step, 2]
sleep(0.1)
end
end
When I do this I get the following error.
Plot needs to be displayed to insert additional plots
Any hints or ideas on how I can accomplish this? Or where I am going wrong?
