draw after set_data

thanks for the answer.
it's slow, but acceptable.
If it was possible to update it faster, that would have been better,
but it's ok.

I do not know if it's because of pyqt or not, but the
self.fig.canvas.draw() takes around 1s, and then, there is another
extra time before the plot actually get updated.
I mean, visually.

hi,

sorry to bring this up again.

self.fig.canvas.draw(), after a set_data()

If you need to change the scale of the plot when you update the data,
then I don't see any alternative to redoing the whole plot. If that is
too slow, then mpl may simply be the wrong tool for the job. Parts of
mpl have been nicely optimized for speed, but generating a large number
of subplots is not among them. I don't expect this will change any time
soon. The tick generation and labeling is the main time sink. If I
generate 20 blank subplots, with default ticks and labels, each draw
takes 420 ms on my machine. If I set all the ticks to the empty list,
it drops to 34 ms.

Hi,

I use qt4 backend.
I update some lines doing something like that:

def draw_curves(self, datas, x):
for y in datas:
self.lines[i].set_data(x, y)
min_y, max_y = self.min_max(y)
self.ax[i].axis((0, x[-1], min_y, max_y))
#self.ax[i].draw_artist(self.lines[i])
#self.fig.canvas.blit(self.ax[i].bbox)
self.fig.canvas.draw()

the self.fig.canvas.draw() is very slow. (I have 20 subplot in that figure).
I tried to use:
self.ax[i].draw_artist(self.lines[i])
self.fig.canvas.blit(self.ax[i].bbox)
it's very fast. But it does not update the scale of the plot.
and it does not remove the old datas.

Can someone help me on that ?
if I plot a sin(x) at first, I get it between 0 and 1. then, if I plot
2.sin(x), it does not update the zoom to 0-2

thank you,
Philippe
