I can still see the animation, though. And switching to 'Agg' did allow me to save the animation in mp4, which is good. All workarounds aside, this works pretty well. Thanks a lot to all.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,309965118

I hand't found anything like that. For me, `%%output` isn't a recognized magic command, and the `renderer.save` command fails for me with a tkinter-related error (can't invoke ""wm"" command), so I really couldn't see anything yet. But I believe I'll be able to solve that eventually.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,309965118

The fact that it can't create an animation file (as far as I could tell so far) does mean I can't use it, though. So I'll still try to pursue the matplotlib animation option, although maybe for most users holoviews+xarray might already be enough (I don't know).","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,309965118

Since I never could take advantage of DataArray's plotting capabilities for animations, I always did animations using pure Numpy. However, I'm talking about the standard matplotlib animations. Here's an example taken from [here](https://matplotlib.org/examples/animation/basic_example_writer.html):

```import numpy as np
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use(""Agg"")
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.animation as animation


def update_line(num, data, line):
    line.set_data(data[..., :num])
    return line,

# Set up formatting for the movie files
Writer = animation.writers['ffmpeg']
writer = Writer(fps=15, metadata=dict(artist='Me'), bitrate=1800)


fig1 = plt.figure()

data = np.random.rand(2, 25)
l, = plt.plot([], [], 'r-')
plt.xlim(0, 1)
plt.ylim(0, 1)
plt.xlabel('x')
plt.title('test')
line_ani = animation.FuncAnimation(fig1, update_line, 25, fargs=(data, l),
                                   interval=50, blit=True)
line_ani.save('lines.mp4', writer=writer)
```

If you have some directions on a smart way to bring xarray into the picture, maybe I can try to come up with an example that might evolve into a contribution.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,309965118
