I thought the OP's original question was something like the Matlab "plot editor" (or whatever is its name), which allows you to edit line colours, styles, gridlines styles, this kind of stuff on a "live" plot (mind you, it's been 6 years since I used Matlab for the last time and I may have forgotten what the "plot editor" does). Anyway, if I am not completely off-track, this is something I had been looking for as well in matplotlib a while back (3, 4 years ago), but at that time I was told it would have been complicated to implement it for all the "live" backend (I can't recall the exact reason). I would say that, at least for the backends based on wxPython, this kind of modify-the-live-plot-via-GUI-interaction should be relatively straightforward, at least for the GUI part and for the basics (line styles, colours, markers and so on). However I am not sure what are the implications on the core matplotlib code. But if I have misunderstood, I apologize for the noise :-) . Andrea.
