Pekko Piirola <pekko.piirola@...64...> sent me an example some time
ago that cycles through a data set. Currently this example only works
in the GTK backend, but we're actively working on getting a unified
GUI interface to allow for this kind of thing. You may also want to
take a look at examples/system_monitor.py and examples/dynamic_demo.py
which show how to dynamically update a plot.

fig = matplotlib.matlab.figure(1)
ind = Numeric.arange(60)
x_tmp=
for i in range(100):
x_tmp.append(Numeric.sin((ind+i)*Numeric.pi/15.0))
X=Numeric.array(x_tmp)
lines = matplotlib.matlab.plot(X[:,0],'o')
def updatefig(*args):
updatefig.count += 1
if updatefig.count>59: updatefig.count=0
lines[0].set_data(ind,X[:,updatefig.count])
fig.draw()
return gtk.TRUE
updatefig.count=-1
gtk.timeout_add(200,updatefig)
matplotlib.matlab.show()
