Main issue is Matplotlib's performance. I'm trying to plot a current trace from a physics experiment, containing about 300,000 data points. In LabVIEW, one can easily browse through a data set like this, but I haven't been able yet to get such a good performance with

I agree that exploration of large data sets is an important application, and that we need to speed it up. A couple days ago I added automatic subsetting (but not decimation--although this could be added easily) to image drawing, and that made a big difference for panning and zooming using

JH Note that with the clipped line approach I suggested, you can have the JH best of both worlds. Downsampl when N2 or some appropriate JH number, and plot the full data when you zoom. Hm.. Good point. I'll try to implement that. Thanks! Best regards, -- Onno Broekmans

Hi everyone, Quite recently I started out with learning Python, IPython, SciPy and Matplotlib, to try see if I could replace some data analysis software that was previously written in LabVIEW. Slowly I'm getting sort-of the hang of it, but I've run into a few problems, and I'm now looking around
