Re: [Matplotlib-users] RE: Performance problems

Jeff, Donour,

Hm, this seems like it's a recurring complaint, but WXAgg and
wxPython are plenty fast for me.  I routinely get better than 10
plots per second with ~500 data points on WinXP / WXAgg, and can
plot 25000 point arrays in under 0.5 second with any symbol or
line type.

Actually, that's with my own wrapper around matplotlib/wxPython,
so raw matplotlib may go even faster.  Example code is included
as 'examples/test.py' in MPlot at
   http://cars.uchicago.edu/~newville/Python/MPlot

If you're having performance trouble, please post code next 
time, and/or try the test.py from MPlot and report drawing 
times.  Also, make sure you know what you're timing and don't 
include the creation of the data or the creation of the wx 
Window that contains the plot frame.

Cheers,

--Matt
