Hi Steve,

This is also interest to us - although about 2 million data points is our 
maximum so far.

Here is a decimating filter module based on the Savtsky-Golay method.

Subject
[Matplotlib-users] Handling  LARGE data sets







Hi,

We are starting to require plotting large data sets.
600K samples is one second, and we have 20 sec runs

This takes approx 5 min to draw the plots on screen.
Then if you want to zoom, ... well go get a cup of coffee, ... not very 
productive.

1) Is MatPlotLib the right tool for large data sets, .. should I be 
looking at something else?

2) Given nothing else better, I'm looking for suggestions how to handle 
this size data.

My initial thoughts, ... display a low res graph, then have some movable 
markers in the low res graph and the main graph would only show the 
contents between those markers.
( ala some sound editing programs )

This would mean I need to filter/decimate the data for the low res 
graph, .. and a quick search on the web didn't seem to turn up any 
python way of doing this, .. anyone know of any existing python tool set 
to do this, before I re-invent the wheel?

Thanks for any input
Steve
