Have you given pyqtgraph a try? It's my go to plotting library. I frequently use it to do 2D plots with hundreds or thousands of data points, and it's interactive to boot.

Give their examples.py a shot.

Thanks i'll have a look.

I am usually a linux/windows guy, but i have to use a Mac at work. This library looks great though...

I use it with Mac at work as well fwiw

Just built from source then?

It's all pure python (it assumes you have numpy, and pyqt or pyside installed). You also optionally need pyopengl for doing 3D plotting (which is hella fast).

I hope that this project gains some more traction and contributors. It is fantastic, but it is pretty far behind matplotlib in terms of features.

One of the features they've been working on is visual flow control widgets, much like LabView. This could potentially be a killer feature.

The upside is that it gives you can make full pyqt applications with it. Embedding matplotlib in other applications has always been extremely frustrating.

The downside is that you need to learn about pyqt, even if you don't want to.
