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

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')
