Matplotlib is a library in Python and it is numerical – mathematical extension for NumPy library. The Artist class contains Abstract base class for objects that render into a FigureCanvas. All visible elements in a figure are subclasses of Artist.

matplotlib.artist.Artist.get_animated() method

The get_animated() method in artist module of matplotlib library is used to get the animated state.

Syntax: Artist.get_animated(self) 

Parameters: This method does not accepts any parameter. 

Returns: This method return the animated state.

Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.artist.Artist.get_animated() function in matplotlib: 

Example 1: 

Python3
# Implementation of matplotlib function
from matplotlib.artist import Artist  
import numpy as np 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
import matplotlib.animation as animation 
  
   
data = np.array([[1, 2, 3, 4, 5],  
                [7, 4, 9, 2, 3]]) 
   
fig = plt.figure() 
ax = plt.axes(xlim =(0, 20), ylim =(0, 20)) 
   
line, = ax.plot([], [], 'r-') 
annotation = ax.annotate('', xy =(data[0][0],  
                         data[1][0])) 

Artist.set_animated(annotation, True) 
w = Artist.get_animated(annotation) 
  
print(str(w)) 

fig.suptitle('matplotlib.artist.Artist.get_animated()\
function Example', fontweight ="bold") 

ax.grid()

plt.show()

Output:

 

True

Example 2: 

Python3
# Implementation of matplotlib function
from matplotlib.artist import Artist  
import numpy as np 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
import matplotlib.animation as animation 
   
  
fig, ax = plt.subplots() 
   
ax.set_xlim([-1, 1]) 
ax.set_ylim([-1, 1]) 
   
L = 50
theta = np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi, L) 
r = np.ones_like(theta) 
   
x = r * np.cos(theta) 
y = r * np.sin(theta) 
   
line, = ax.plot(1, 0, 'ro') 
   
annotation = ax.annotate( 
    'annotation', xy =(1, 0), xytext =(-1, 0), 
    arrowprops = {'arrowstyle': "->"} 
) 
Artist.set_animated(annotation, False) 
w = Artist.get_animated(annotation) 
  
print(str(w)) 

fig.suptitle('matplotlib.artist.Artist.get_animated()\
function Example', fontweight ="bold") 

ax.grid()

plt.show()

Output:

 

False
