Yes, the ``Plotting with Matplotlib`` section in the user guide should cover it but it appears to be broken in the last website build.

>For me, %%output isn't a recognized magic command

That will only work in the notebook after you have run ``hv.extension('matplotlib')``.

>fails for me with a tkinter-related error (can't invoke ""wm"" command), so I really couldn't see anything yet.

You might have to switch to a different matplotlib GUI toolkit or forego one entirely and use agg, either by declaring it in your matplotlib.rc or by setting the backend before importing holoviews, e.g.:

```
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('Agg')
```

You can create animation files using the matplotlib backend in holoviews, as a simple example:

```python
import xarray as xr
import holoviews as hv
hv.extension('matplotlib')

air = xr.tutorial.load_dataset('air_temperature')
ds = hv.Dataset(air.isel(time=range(100)))
images = ds.to(hv.Image, ['lon', 'lat']).options(fig_inches=(10, 5), colorbar=True, cmap='viridis')
```

To display it in the notebook:

```python
%%output holomap='mp4'
images
```

To save it to file:

```python
renderer = hv.renderer('matplotlib')
renderer.save(images, 'hv_anim', 'mp4')
