I have code for "live" plotting with Matplotlib in Python, but it closes once it's done. I would like the plot to remain open.
Code below
import time
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.ion()
plt.show()
for i in range(10):
time.sleep(1)
x = i ** 2
plt.scatter(i, x)
plt.draw()
Maybe you want something like this:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.animation as animation
def make_data():
for i in range(100):
yield i, i*2
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
color = plt.cm.cubehelix(np.linspace(0.1,0.9,100))
plot, = ax.plot([], [],'o')
xdata, ydata = [], []
ax.set_ylim(0, 1)
ax.set_xlim(0, 1)
def run(data):
x,y = data
xdata.append(x)
ydata.append(y)
xmin, xmax = ax.get_xlim()
ymin, ymax = ax.get_ylim()
if y > ymax:
ax.set_xlim(xmin, 1+xmax)
ax.set_ylim(ymin, 1+ymax)
ax.figure.canvas.draw()
plot.set_color(color[x])
plot.set_data(xdata,ydata)
return plot,
ani = animation.FuncAnimation(fig,run,make_data,blit=True,interval=10,repeat=False)
plt.show()
Maybe scatter would be better since it might allow for different colors of each circle.
