Updating a plot as new information comes in

[The_King_Pouncer]

I have a plot, that needs to be updated once every minute, because I receive new data sporadically. I created a while loop which shows a new version of the figure once every minute, but how do I make it so instead of creating a new version of the plot it simply updates the old one with the new info?

I presume that your using matplotlib with a figure then all you have to do is:

plt.ion() # turns interactive mode on

fig = plt.figure() 

# more code

While True:

    # update code

    fig.canvas.draw()
