python - calling plt.figure prevents Checkbutton from update - Tkinter - python-3.x

Question

A GUI that works with different pages, one is a graph page using the animate function, and a second page should start a guide, the guide will depend on what you click in a checkbutton. I have created a post because I thought I was the checkbutton that was not well defined, but now i found that calling the f=plt.figure() is prevent the upgrade of the checkbutton.
See this code works for the Checkbutton: - Before the animate function .. But then the graphic update on the other page does not work since f is not defined in the animate function. If i put the animate function and f definition in the PageThree (GRAPHIC page) the update of the figure fails.
But when i allow the f=plt.figure() , graphic is fine, but checkbutton stays False all the time...

EDIT FOR MIXONE: yes i have tried to do something like :
def animate (f):
pullData=pd.read_table("InstrumentPerformance.txt", parse_dates=True,
dayfirst=True, index_col=1)
Names_In = ['Q1','Q2','Q3']
Inst=pullData.groupby('Instrument')
a = f.add_subplot(2,3,1)
a2 = f.add_subplot(2,3,2, sharex=a)...
...
and:
class PageThree(tk.Frame):
def __init__(self,parent,controller):
tk.Frame.__init__(self,parent)
label = tk.Label(self, text="GraphPage", font=LARGE_FONT)
label.pack(pady=10, padx=10)
button1 = ttk.Button(self, text="Back to Home",
command=lambda: controller.show_frame(StartPage))
button1.pack()
f=plt.figure()
ani = animation.FuncAnimation(f, animate(f), interval=10000)
canvas = FigureCanvasTkAgg(f, self)
canvas.show()
canvas.get_tk_widget().pack(side=tk.TOP, fill=tk.BOTH, expand=True)
#toolbar=NavigationToolbar2TkAgg(canvas,self)
#toolbar.update()
#canvas._tkcanvas.pack(side=tk.TOP,fill=tk.BOTH, expand=True)
app = PAL3_guide()
app.geometry("1280x920")
app.mainloop()
In this case the Checkbutton works, but the figure is not updated but it is plotted in the beginning.
