Command Line Usage

recording interactions To record a json file for later playback:

python -m mpl_playback.record example_file.py -figures fig --output example_playback.json

This will launch example_file.py and record any interactions with the object named fig. Then it will be saved to example_playback.json. However, the output argument is optional, if not given then the name will be example_file-playback.json

playback interactions in a gif To play back the file you must pass both the original python file and the recording json file. You can optionally pass names for the output gif(s) with the --output argument, or allow the names to be chosen automatically. 1 gif will be created for each figure that was recorded.

python -m mpl_playback.playback example_file.py example_playback.json
