Hi,

I’m a Julia beginner (I’m using Windows 10) and I’m looking for advice what package would be easy to use for drawing animated vector graphics.

Background: I want to experiment with reinforcement learning and want to visualize what the agent is doing – think of something like the OpenAI gym “Cartpole” environment.

I have already searched for a solution for some time, but no package I looked at really seems to have that use case in mind. Any help would be appreciated!

Interactive graphics is probably the domain of [Makie](http://makie.juliaplots.org/stable/interaction.html), but I wouldn’t know how you’d drive it.

Yeah you could open an issue on Makie or ask on the Makie channel of Julia’s Slack. I know Simon (the developer of Makie) had some plans about using it to visualize machine learning in real time.
