How to customize the animation frame rate, speed, and repetitions

To disable the ability of the animation, set repeat to False, as shown in the following code:

# Repeat, pause after final framenums = np.arange(0,10,0.1)sin, = plt.plot(nums, np.sin(nums))frames=np.arange(0,2*np.pi,0.1)def update(i):    sin.set_ydata(np.sin(nums+i))FuncAnimation(plt.gcf(), update, frames=frames, interval=50,              repeat_delay=2e3)

By setting repeat to False, we get to loop through the frames array. Then, the animation will halt:

To pause the repetition of the animation, use the repeat_delay argument. By using this argument (repeat_delay=2e3), we can see that it will ...
