Re: [Matplotlib-users] slow plotting speed?

[Matt N. <new...@ca...>]

Jeff, 

I agree with John -- matplotlib and the wxAgg backend 
don't seem slow to me.  For simple line drawings in 
'stripchart mode', where a line is being updated as 
fast as possible, I regularly get ~12 plots per second
with wxAgg and mpl 0.81+ on Windows.  It's hard for me 
to consider that slow, but you weren't specific about 
what you were expecting.

Do the examples at 
 http://cars.uchicago.edu/~newville/Python/MPlot 

help? MPlot gives a wxPanel and wxFrame for simple line 
drawings that gives GUI-controlled customization of line 
color and style, etc and provides simple ways for end 
users to zoom in/out, print, and saving of images. The 
examples/test.py includes a stripchart-like plot.
