[matplotlib-devel] Plot 1 point at a time, results in very bad performance and the figuring entering a state of non-response

[Ray S. <ray...@gm...>]

Hello Everyone
   This is my first post, I really enjoy using python/numpy/scipy/matplotlib
- great replacement for matlab. I am having a problem, with plot 1 point at
a time. i am attempt to emulate an issue in the lab, where we get samples
every second and plot them. The figure becomes non-responsive and eventually
stops plotting, does anyone have an idea.


Cheers
Ray
