Create dynamic updated graph with Python

Question

I need your help to write a script in Python that will take dynamically changed data, the source of data is not matter here, and display graph on the screen.

I know how

Answer 1

As an alternative to matplotlib, the Chaco library provides nice graphing capabilities and is in some ways better-suited for live plotting.

See some screenshots here, and in particular, see these examples:

• data_stream.py

• spectrum.py

Chaco has backends for qt and wx, so it handles the underlying details for you rather nicely most of the time.
