Print continuous line graphs Matplotlib;python

[vindhyachal]

1. Need to print continuous 4 line graphs in subplot.

2. My current code works for scatter plot. It prints scateer values correctly. But I want to replace it with lines

3. This is continuous graph. I read values from sensor every 10 sec, print them on graph for 15 minutes. then delete the graph. Then start over again.

4. Below is my code. it has two files: main.py & graph.py

           graph.print_val(temp_list , hor_pixel)
           hor_pixel = hor_pixel+1;
           if(hor_pixel >= 90):
            hor_pixel = 0
            graph.close();         #close the graph
            graph.init()           #reinit the graph
       
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    graph.close();
    GPIO.cleanup()
 
graph.close();
GPIO.cleanup()
