Control real-time animations from a menubar but only the page in the foreground

I am working with matplotlib and tkinter in Raspberry pi 4B. I have three different sensor readings shown in real-time. My goal is to pick a sensor from the menubar, which would open the corresponding page. In the page, I would just have a blank graph. From the start/stop menu, I will start reading, which would start displaying the readings right away. I will also stop the animation from the menu.

Issue:

1. I noticed that the animations are running in background. I am not sure how to stop that.
2. I don't know how to program the start and stop option in the menubar to control the current graph.
3. I am not sure how to modify my function animate_graph that reads the frame that called it. This seems more of a simple issue, but I don't know what parameter I should pass to this function.

Here is my code:

I have only programmed the sensor 1 page, but not the other two. I am assuming it will be the same approach for the other two.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT1: Made huge changes to the project to something I can work with. Won't need this anymore. Just leaving this here incase anyone has a solution to it. might help someone else
