To Discuss: Add more parameters to Evoked.animate_topomap to align it with plot_topomap

Hi everyone,

I recently opened a PR to add a cmap parameter to Evoked.animate_topomap, with reference to issue #12418. (ENH: add cmap parameter to Evoked.animate_topomap by HansujaB · Pull Request #13756 · mne-tools/mne-python · GitHub)

While working on this, I noticed that plot_topomap supports several additional parameters (for example colorbar, cnorm, etc.) that are currently not available in Evoked.animate_topomap. It might be useful to gradually extend animate_topomap so that its functionality becomes closer to plot_topomap.

My questions are:

  • Would it make sense to add some of these parameters to Evoked.animate_topomap?

  • If so, which parameters would be the most useful to support first?

I would also appreciate any feedback on my current PR implementing the cmap parameter.

Thanks!
