Also it should be possible to use the `dragging` argument of the slider widget to move a paused animation to a particular frame by dragging it with the mouse...

Just going to bump this because we're also starting to properly use animatplot in [xBOUT](https://github.com/boutproject/xBOUT). (@johnomotani)

Second bump @t-makaro :relaxed:

We're about to release version 1.0 of [xBOUT](https://github.com/boutproject/xBOUT), which relies on animatplot, so it would be great to discuss this further @t-makaro?

Just seen this, I like the first option for an updated API. I wonder if it perhaps makes more sense to think of the `Timeline` object as containing information about...

Did you manage to get any further with this? Matplotlib is on v3.0.2 now, did they refactor their blitting system? If there's really no blitting at all in `%matplotlib notebook`...

Animating contour plots would also be nice, this stackoverflow [post](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16915966/using-matplotlib-animate-to-animate-a-contour-plot-in-python) seems to show that it is possible. (Also title block is done)

How about a colorbar block? At the moment the colorbar must be static, but at some point someone might want to use a colorbar whose limits evolve with the data?

Having spoken to @cisaacstern , I think that this refactor might be needed in order for @robertpincus to use [datatree](https://github.com/xarray-contrib/datatree) to open all the groups in [his NASA data](https://github.com/pangeo-forge/staged-recipes/issues/125#issuecomment-1106816417) in...
