Is it possible to have animations play without a “play” button. What I want to do in python is to have plotly animations play on a loop without the play button. I have gotten plotly animations to play with the play button by following the tutorials online but I don’t know how I would have them play on startup and loop continuously. Any ideas? Thank you.
