Re: [Gnuplot-py-users] Using a list or tuple inside g.plot() gives errors

Hi,

I think g.plot() eats Gnuplot.Data objects, not lists. 

So you can have g.plot(data1, data2, ... dataN)
but not g.plot([data1, data2, ... dataN])

Copies of all input to g.plot is added to g.itemlist... after the command 
above you have g.itemlist as [data1, data2, ..., dataN].

To add a line to the plot after g.plot(data) you could use 

newdata = Gnuplot.Data(whateveryouhave)
g.replot(newdata)

Now the itemlist would be [data1, data2, ..., dataN, newdata].

The way I remove stuff from the itemlist is a bit ugly.

If you know the position of the unwanted item in the datalist (here 
assumed 1), you can do

del g.itemlist[1]

This does not delete you data, only the copy stored in the itemlist.
After del, the itemlist would be [data1, data3, ..., dataN, newdata] 
Then use

g.refresh() 

to update the plot and data2 is no longer visible. For this you need your 
own bookkeeping on the data in itemlist, to know the indices. If the 
itemlist goes empty you might get trouble.
