[ploting data] Live data

I think you forget to set the layout on your central widget.

self.main_widget.setLayout(vbl) # in your case

Thx all for your remarks,

I can't understand why this code works (when I use the timer method):

And this code doesn't show anything... Somebody understand why?

I think you forget to set the layout on your central widget.

self.main_widget.setLayout(vbl) # in your case
