Controlling animation speed using graph_objects in python

Hi @empet,

I am reviving this thread because I am integrating your previous answer about rotations with the present one.



def rotate_z(x, y, z, theta):
    w = x+1j*y
    return np.real(np.exp(1j*theta)*w), np.imag(np.exp(1j*theta)*w), z

x_eye = -1.25
y_eye = 2
z_eye = 0.5
frames=[]

fig = go.Figure(data=[go.Surface(z=Z[0:200,0:100], x=X[0:200,0:100], y=Y[0:200,0:100], surfacecolor=d_matrix, connectgaps=True)])


layout = go.Layout(
         title='Animation Test',
         width=600,
         height=600,
         scene=dict(camera=dict(eye=dict(x=x_eye, y=y_eye, z=z_eye))),

updatemenus=[dict(buttons = [dict(args = [None, {"frame": {"duration": 1, 
                                                           "redraw": False},
                                                 "fromcurrent": True, 
                                                 "transition": {"duration": 100}}],
                                  label = "Play",
                                 method = "animate")],
             type='buttons',
             showactive=False,
             y=1,
             x=1.12,
             xanchor='right',
             yanchor='top')])

for t in np.arange(0, 6.26, 0.1):
    xe, ye, ze = rotate_z(x_eye, y_eye, z_eye, -t)
    frames.append(go.Frame(layout=dict(scene_camera_eye=dict(x=xe, y=ye, z=ze))))
    
fig.update(frames=frames)

fig.show()
plotly.offline.plot(fig, filename=r'\test.html')

My goal is a smoother and faster transition between different frames. You can see the final output in html format here.

Using the code you provided in this thread, I have noticed that the parameters “duration” for both frame and transition are not affecting the output
