matplotlib FuncAnimation: when to stop?

Question

According to matplotlib's documentation, FuncAnimation calls a funtion repeatedly to make an animation.

The question is, how should I tell FuncAnimation() to stop when no more image data available?

Answer 1

If you know how many frames are in your image data then make sure among the other arguments in FuncAnimation() that you have:

frames=#frames
repeat=False

It then stops when it reaches the frame limit. Not perfect but this seems to be a common concern without a proper solution.
