Thanks for that, the canvas.draw() function redraws the graph. I had to add the "autoscale_on=False" to the add_subplot() to stop the graph from autoscaling. One issue that I find now is that the removed marker is not redrawn as removed, in other words, all the original markers remain drawn whether or not the datapoints exist in the array. How can I remove the marker I don't want anymore withought doing a clf() call because I can have over 300,000 datapoints and the redraw will take ages Thanks for the link to the clipping code, that will come in handy. Much appreciated
