{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"[Doc]: finding the simple example","articleBody":"### Documentation Link\n\nhttps://matplotlib.org/stable/gallery/index#animation\n\n### Problem\n\nI recently had need to make a line animation so went looking in the examples to remind myself how. I clicked on a few and thought \"that's more complicated than I need\" before finding the [actual simple one](https://matplotlib.org/stable/gallery/animation/simple_anim.html) which was all I needed. Someone less familiar with the library may well not realise there is a simpler way to do something than the first example they clicked. I wonder if there is a way we could highlight the most basic cases, so someone knows to start there.\n\n### Suggested improvement\n\n_No response_","author":{"url":"https://github.com/rcomer","@type":"Person","name":"rcomer"},"datePublished":"2026-04-07T12:16:01.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":3},"url":"https://github.com/31464/matplotlib/issues/31464"}
