Plot with matplotlib with real time updates without plt.pause

real_time_plotting.py

# draw the figure so the animations will work
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.gcf()
fig.show()
fig.canvas.draw()

while True:
    # compute something
    plt.plot([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], [2, 1, 2, 1, 2]) # plot something
    
    # update canvas immediately
    plt.xlim([0, 10])
    plt.ylim([0, 10])
    plt.pause(0.01)
    fig.canvas.draw()

This gist is not made for public consumption, I just occasionally make gists to remind me of something. I'm not supporting it, especially if the message is "it does not work".

Ok, but maybe you can fix it. It has no sence to post something that does not work. (Im not the only one who can't let it work)

It makes sense because it works for me (and some others), and this is a convenient place to store such things. I don't need somebody else to do my thinking for me, thank you.

I have no idea what setups people have, what versions, what OS, what backend, etc. And I certainly can't help when the entire message is "it does not work". Lazy efforts get zero response.

But again, I don't really care, this is for me only.

As you want, I wanted just to inform you
