Material for presentation at Cold Spring Harbor vision course, 2024. See the website for more details.
The binder setup is the same as previous workshop tutorials I've put together but note that, when we had many users, the binder instance was freezing. I believe that was due to ffmpeg grabbing all the threads on the node and, since there were many users on the node ... that was bad. See issue for discussion, but I believe the solution is to add
plt.rcParams['animation.html'] = 'html5'
# use single-threaded ffmpeg for animation writer
plt.rcParams['animation.writer'] = 'ffmpeg'
plt.rcParams['animation.ffmpeg_args'] = ['-threads', '1']to the top of the notebook.
