Thanks for the reply. I have wxPython installed and have used it. with wx I have just been using the wx.lib.plot module and the graphing is fine (although in other posts I note some focus issues).
I have been looking at moving to using interface builder 3.0 and building Cocoa apps because for a bigger project it might be faster and better code. I only want to make plots that show data... but I need to refresh the plot at every step. with wx.lib.plot, i just draw it again (performance is not too big of an issue). No user interaction is needed. I will check out Chaco. Like I said, I know how to use wx.lib.plot, so if there is a way that I can use the graphs created there that would be great... although I suspect that wx.lib.plot requires a frame as a parent, which I would not want to use since .nib files (from interface builder) would handle the gui side with PyObjC (a language which I don't know).
