I have implemented a simple randomized, population-based optimization method - Grey Wolf optimizer. I am having some trouble with properly capturing the Matplotlib plots at each iteration using the camera package.
I am running GWO for the objective function f(x,y) = x^2 y^2. I can only see the candidate solutions converging to the minima, but the contour plot doesn't show up.
Do you have any suggestions, how can I display the contour plot in the background?

CodePudding user response：
Is it possible that the line x = np.linspace(LB[0],LB[1],1000) should be x = np.linspace(LB[0],UB[1],1000) instead? With your current definition of x, x is an array only filled with the value -10 which means that you are unlikely to find a contour.
Another thing that you might want to do is to move the cont = plt.contour(X1,X2,Z,20,linewidths=0.75) line inside of your plot_search_agent_positions function to ensure that the contour is plotted at each iteration of the animation.
Once you make those changes, the code looks like that:
