plot-cat is the python library for plotting live serial input. plotcat works on
python 2.7 and later. plotcat comes handy when you want to plot live data that
is coming form different sensors over the serial port, SPI, websocket, tcp socket etc.

For example you have to plot the output of a temperature sensor that is coming
from an [arduino](https://www.arduino.cc/) or any other microcontroller for
that matter; plotcat comes handy for such tasks.

plotcat sits on the top of [matplotlib](http://matplotlib.org/) and does all
the initialization and drawing stuff itself. you just have to provide the list
of values to be plotted.

plotcat works on linux osx and windows. plotcat also works well with
[Raspberry Pi](https://www.raspberrypi.org/)
