Animated plots

See original GitHub issue

🎯 Goal

Create an easy API for animations, where the evolution in time of one or more orbits can be shown.

💡 Possible solutions

Let’s first settle on producing animations with a fixed camera view.

This can be challenging since the code for 2D and 3D visualization is quite different. Also, matplotlib is not very well suited for animations in general, and perhaps we would have to switch to Plotly for everything.

Hi @BrandonEscamilla, sorry for the delay!

Starting with animating one orbit is nice, although bringing animation capabilities to OrbitPlotter objects and being able to animate several orbits, or even a sequence of them, would be great. In any case, let’s start doing Orbit.animate then!
