Mu editor Plotter

The Plotter of Mu editor is a graph tool to visualise numeric data which your code may create.

To activate the plotter in those modes that support it, simply toggle it on or off by clicking the “Plotter” button.

When the plotter is active it begins to listen for a valid source of data. This could be your Python program, something in the REPL or serial data coming from a connected device.

In all instances the pattern of valid data is the same: a Python tuple containing only numeric data printed to a new line. In case you’re wondering, a tuple in Python is a collection of data enclosed by parentheis, and looks like this: (1, 2, 3).

Each item in the tuple will be plotted on a separate line in the line chart. So, if you have three sources of data, each time you emit a tuple it will have three numbers in it, one for each source of data.
