[Solved] Why does this animation not run smoothly?ani = FuncAnimation(fig, update, frames=60, interval=0) — Ans: Interval of 0 causes no delay, overloading CPU | Matplotlib

Matplotlib - Animations

Why does this animation not run smoothly?

ani = FuncAnimation(fig, update, frames=60, interval=0)

AInterval of 0 causes no delay, overloading CPU

BFrames must be less than 60

CUpdate function is missing return statement

DFigure size is too small

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand interval=0 effect
Setting interval to 0 means no delay between frames, causing the animation to run as fast as possible, which can overload the CPU and cause choppy animation.
Step 2: Check other options
Frames count and update function return do not affect smoothness directly here; figure size is unrelated.
Final Answer:
Interval of 0 causes no delay, overloading CPU -> Option A
Quick Check:
Zero interval can cause performance issues [OK]

Quick Trick: Avoid zero interval to prevent CPU overload [OK]
