Re: [Matplotlib-users] Draw lines on the graph

[Jakub N. <j.s...@go...>]

Hi,

If I understand right you want to redraw new trend lines when you zoom in (recalculated for the visible data). You then have to use event callbacks which usage example is shown here (view limits change example):

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/event_handling/viewlims.html

For one trend line it's relatively easy, you just recalculate the beginning and the end points. In the case when you have to guess how many lines you have to use it begins to be quite tricky if you haven't got a proper algorithm for that.

Hope it helps.

Cheers,

Jakub
