I could use `functools` to attach named parameters to the function `update`, but it would be nice if `FuncAnimation` can support this feature.\r\n\r\n### Proposed Solution\r\n```\r\nani = matplotlib.animation.FuncAnimation(\r\n  fig, update, frames=len(raw_history),\r\n  interval=500, repeat=True, repeat_delay=1,\r\n  fkwargs={'raw_history': raw_history, 'action_history': action_history, 'style': style}\r\n)\r\n```\r\nWe keep the `fargs` parameter, but we also add an `fkwargs` for keyword parameters.\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/Zeyuzhao","@type":"Person","name":"Zeyuzhao"},"datePublished":"2021-05-28T22:21:52.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":7},"url":"https://github.com/20326/matplotlib/issues/20326"}
