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()

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
