Hi,

Thanks for the email.  In the future if you post the question to the
mailing list I'll be more likely to see it quickly and others can help
you as well

Now, on to your question.  Yes, matplotlib does support dynamic
plotting, if I understand your question correctly.  You can update the
graphs in an animated fashion using either the gtk timer or idle
functionality.

See examples/system_monitor.py in the src distribution.  Let me know
if you need something other than this functionality, and I'll see
about getting it incorporated.
