Ah, turns out the Raspberry Pi is more powerful than I thought. It’s just being held down by web2py. When I ran my script outside of web2py… in pure python so to speak, it was performing adequately. So now I’m using subprocess to call that script, and am quite happy. A wee bit more text here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35629471/need-help-to-solve-performance-problems-of-matplotlib-on-a-raspberry-pi
So thanks for your insight, Ben. But that just seemed a bit too low-level for me. I just had to try something different.
Cheers,
Oliver

Sounds like you are describing the need for blitting, which most of the backends support in one way or another. The blitting pathways were designed with animations in mind, but I don't see why it couldn't be hijacked for your use as well. Note, you will have to do manual calls to copy_from_bbox() and such, but it should be doable.

Hey all,
I’m trying to use matplotlib on a Raspberry Pi to visualize data the Pi receives via serial port - and of course I’m new to Python and matplotlib. The visualization need not be online, rather in form of a PDF once no more data is received. Then however as quick as possible. Please refer to my SO question for more details: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35629471/need-help-to-solve-performance-problems-of-matplotlib-on-a-raspberry-pi
Nevertheless here is a brief summary: During the better part of an hour my program does nothing but wait for input on the serial port, which is received once a second. During this waiting time it could already begin rendering the chart, and then just save it to file, once it’s done. I have not found out how to do this however. Whats more, I have read quite discouraging posts concerning the need to recalculate the axes and so forth. As an alternative to rendering the entire grid in the program, I guess it would be an improvement (speedwise) if I could just use an image of the grid and repeat it (as in tiling). But I have not quite found the means to do that either. Concerning the grid layout please refer to my other SO question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35551080/is-it-possible-to-generate-a-chart-with-this-very-specific-background.
Thanks a lot for reading…and perhaps answering :)
Kind regards,
Oliver Holmes
