These include partial source code that generates the animated plot, but lack the code that generated the controls for said animation (e.g. pause/resume, next frame, path to the button icon).\r\n\r\nThese controls do not appear to be trivial additions, as discussed in https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/20564\r\n\r\nIn other words, running the source code that was provided produces output lacking non-trivial features found in the example.\n\n### Suggested improvement\n\nI believe having these controls is a desirable feature, and so the source code should include the steps to reproduce said controls.\r\n\r\nAlternatively, a new animation example should be made that shows the source to how the controls on every animation example were made.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/hmedina","@type":"Person","name":"hmedina"},"datePublished":"2022-12-09T01:51:46.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/24673/matplotlib/issues/24673"}
