I have some questions on the example below. My intention is to replace the y values with data from some sensor connected to the computer, and to make it work in what could be called 'single-event-mode' which means that I only want to plot and store data whenever the mouse is clicked. I have made the plotting with VPython, and I have also considered matplotlib. However, with either of these modules I cannot see how to answer the questions 1 and 2 below. Is there some other graphical module that will be better suited? Notice, that I use Python 3.2.
1) Can I modify the program so that the clicks should be done in the testdisplay window on not in the scene window? 2) In the testdisplay I only want to see the actual blue point together with the hitherto stored green points. And not only that: I want to free all earlier blue points from memory. How can I do that?
