title: How to display multiple plots one after the other in python/matplotlib
body: <p>I am currently attempting to code Conway's game of life, and have had success with coding the game! Now I would like to animate the game by somehow showing each iteration of the game sequentially.</p>
  <p>I am able to use matplotlib and recursion to plot each iteration sequentially, and each plot looks correct, though in order to go to the next plot, I must exit out of each plot before the next plot renders. What I want is a static, single board which just appears to change at each iteration, much like the first image at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life</a>.</p>
  <p>Are there any good methods in order to do this animation in a straightforward manner, ie plot each graph one after the other without needing to press anything? Any advice or guidance is greatly appreciated, and thanks very much!</p>
