[Matplotlib-users] How to wrap a profile

[Marc P. <ma...@nu...>]

Hello,

I'm using the RO.StripChartWdg module to plot real time data. The data 
can vary quite a lot and rather than autoscale I want to set a vertical 
scale and have it wrap. This is what I mean by wrapping.. when the value 
scrolls out of the extents of the window it reappears on the opposite 
side. Ideally I would like to place a connecting bar between them, but 
its not essential


  There are lots of ways to accomplish this, but before I set out I want 
to be sure I'm not reinventing the wheel. Is there a simple way to 
accomplish this?

cheers,

Marc Pelletier

Do some modulo arithmetic on your Y values and lie (in your tick
labels) about the actual numeric values plotted on the Y axis?

Hi Skip,

Something like that is probably what I will implement. I want the user 
to be able to change scale on the fly, so it means keeping 2 copies of 
the data. Not a big deal, but I just don't want to build something that 
already exists.

cheers,

Marc
