Python lines linking dots in a updating plot with matplotlib
I`m using matplotlib to plot a reward vs episode plot in a reinforcement learning application. So basically I update the plot every time the episode ends.
Searching here python-How do I plot in real time in a while loop using matplotlib I get to make my plot update every time my episode finished. My code for the plot is:
reward_plot = plt.plot(i,total_reward, '-ro')
plt.title('Reward vs episodes')
plt.xlabel("Episodes", fontsize=12)
plt.ylabel("Reward", fontsize=12)
plt.pause(0.05)
And the plot, actually looks like this:
I just want to make the plot draw a line linking the dots each time the graph is updated. It is possible? I tried with different methods but I didn't have any luck. I'm using Python 3.6.6.

So you are adding points one-by-one, and what you would like to see is a plot where there is a line between each adjacent (on the x-axis) points? For that you would have to remove a previous line each time you add a new point and introduce two new. I'd be surprised if that functionality would be implemented in matplotlib

Is this example (matplotlib.org/gallery/animation/…) relevant to you ?

Yes, Im adding points one by one, the function its inside a for loop; so what I want is when I add the second point, matplotlib draw a line between the first and second point; then when the third episode finishes, a line between second and third point; and so on. So it`s not possible?

I tried the example you showed to me; it only draws a animated line; I need the points because it`s not a continuous value. Thanks anyway!
