DOC: Remove Adding Animations section

StefRe · web-flow · commit a14cd17c68e1 · 2022-09-19T22:00:10.000+02:00
from the Writing Documentation section of the developer's docs. Animations get
perfectly well embedded in the documentation by sphinx without the need of
linking to youtube. More complex examples can be posted in the Discourse
Showcases section instead of contacting Michael Droettboom for the login
password to upload youtube videos.

-Adding animations
------------------
-
-Animations are scraped automatically by Sphinx-gallery. If this is not
-desired,
-there is also a Matplotlib Google/Gmail account with username ``mplgithub``
-which was used to setup the github account but can be used for other
-purposes, like hosting Google docs or Youtube videos.  You can embed a
-Matplotlib animation in the docs by first saving the animation as a
-movie using :meth:`matplotlib.animation.Animation.save`, and then
-uploading to `Matplotlib's Youtube
-channel <https://www.youtube.com/user/matplotlib>`_ and inserting the
-embedding string youtube provides like:
-
-.. code-block:: rst
-
-  .. raw:: html
-
-     <iframe width="420" height="315"
-       src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/32cjc6V0OZY"
-       frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>
-     </iframe>
-
-An example save command to generate a movie looks like this
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    ani = animation.FuncAnimation(fig, animate, np.arange(1, len(y)),
-        interval=25, blit=True, init_func=init)
-
-    ani.save('double_pendulum.mp4', fps=15)
-
-Contact Michael Droettboom for the login password to upload youtube videos of
-google docs to the mplgithub account.
