wx_mpl_dynamic_graph.py

"""
GP:
Changed datasource, title, and refresh interval to use
as a poor man's Arduino oscilliscope.

This demo demonstrates how to draw a dynamic mpl (matplotlib) 
plot in a wxPython application.

It allows "live" plotting as well as manual zooming to specific
regions.

Both X and Y axes allow "auto" or "manual" settings. For Y, auto
mode sets the scaling of the graph to see all the data points.
For X, auto mode makes the graph "follow" the data. Set it X min
to manual 0 to always see the whole data from the beginning.

Note: press Enter in the 'manual' text box to make a new value 
affect the plot.
