How to plot Bitcoin Prices in real time (part 2) — Live animation plot with Python and Matplotlib
Hello Everyone! My name is Andrew Fung, in this video, we will be using the Python Matplotlib and Cryptocompare API to plot Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency prices in real time to take a look at the short term price fluctuation. For the second part of the video, I will be focusing on live plotting using an animation function inside Matplotlib.

plt.gcf().canvas.set_window_title('Live Plotting Cryptocurrency')
plt.xlabel('Date')
plt.ylabel('Price($)')
plt.plot_date(x_vals,y_vals,linestyle="solid",ms=0)
plt.tight_layout()
ani = FuncAnimation(plt.gcf(), animate, interval=1000)
plt.show()
