To animate text in a plot, we can take the following steps
- Set the figure size and adjust the padding between and around the subplots.
- Set x and y axis limit.
- Initialize a variable, string.
- Use text() method to place text over the plot.
- Use FuncAnimation() to animate the text. Set text on the text axis.
- Turn off the axes.
- To display the figure, use show() method.
Example
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt, animation plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.50, 3.50] plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True fig, ax = plt.subplots() ax.set(xlim=(-1, 1), ylim=(-1, 1)) string = 'Hello, how are you doing?' label = ax.text(0, 0, string[0], ha='center', va='center', fontsize=20, color="Red") def animate(i): label.set_text(string[:i + 1]) anim = animation.FuncAnimation( fig, animate, interval=200, frames=len(string)) ax.axis('off') plt.show()
