how to make lines cross in matplotlib?

I'm very early in making a simple graph to plot the temperature and humidity of a given space however, the graph plots both lines but they don't intersect instead they do something like in the image below:
here's the code:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from itertools import count
from matplotlib.animation import FuncAnimation
import serial
import matplotlib as mpl
import numpy as np
x = []
line1 = []
line2 = []
serialPort = serial.Serial(port = "COM3", baudrate=115200,
bytesize=8, timeout=1, stopbits=serial.STOPBITS_ONE)
serialString = ""
index = count()
def animate(i):
if serialPort.in_waiting > 0:
serialString = serialPort.readline()
string = serialString.decode('Ascii')
line1.append(string.split(' ')[0])
line2.append(string.split(' ')[1])
x.append(next(index))
print(len(line1))
if len(line1) >= 1000:
line1.pop(0)
line2.pop(0)
x.pop(0)
plt.cla()
plt.plot(x, line1, label='Temperature')
plt.plot(x, line2, label='Humidity')
ani = FuncAnimation(plt.gcf(), animate, interval=400)
plt.tight_layout()
plt.show()

Matplotlib live data animation runs out of memory

I'm using a Raspberry Pi to plot live data from serial, but eventually run out of memory. I'm not sure if/how I can close the figure, but still have a live data display.
Would it be possible to create and close a new figure with every animate?
My code at the moment:
import serial
import matplotlib
# Force matplotlib to not use any Xwindows backend.
matplotlib.use('TkAgg') #comment out for debugging
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.animation as animation
import numpy as np
import gc
# Create figure for plotting
fig = plt.figure()
xs = []
ysAC = []
ysDC = []
ser = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyUSB0', 115200, timeout=1)
ser.flush()
# This function is called periodically from FuncAnimation
def animate(i, xs, ysAC, ysDC):
values = getValues()
wAC = values[1]
wDC = values[2]
# Add x and y to lists
xs.append(i)
ysAC.append(wAC)
ysDC.append(wDC)
# Limit x and y lists to 10 items
xs = ['T-9','T-8','T-7','T-6','T-5','T-4','T-3','T-2','T-1','Now']
ysDC = ysDC[-10:]
ysAC = ysAC[-10:]
# Draw x and y lists
axRT1.clear()
if len(ysDC) == 10:
lineAC, = axRT1.plot(xs, ysAC, 'b:', label='Mains', linewidth = 4)
lineDC, = axRT1.plot(xs, ysDC, 'g--', label='Solar', linewidth = 4)
gc.collect()
#fig.clf()
#plt.close()
def getValues():
if ser.in_waiting > 0:
line = ser.readline().decode('utf-8').rstrip()
return list(line.split(","))
# Set up plot to call animate() function periodically
ani = animation.FuncAnimation(fig, animate, fargs=(xs, ysAC, ysDC), interval=1000, blit=False)
plt.get_current_fig_manager().full_screen_toggle()
plt.ioff()
plt.show()
plt.draw()

The crude way of clearing the plots marked below fixed it for me:

Dont "animate" the X axis. Have the value on graph while the lines animate

Here is my code.
xls_file = pd.ExcelFile('file.xlsx')
df = xls_file.parse('fileTab')
chart = {'Date': df['Date'],
'Total': df['Total']
}
df = pd.DataFrame(chart, columns = ['Date', 'Total'])
title = 'Total'
x = np.array(df.index)
y = np.array(df['Total'])
yData = pd.DataFrame(y,x)
yData.columns = {title}
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(10,6))
# plt.xlim(df['Date'][0])
plt.gcf().subplots_adjust(bottom=.20)
plt.gcf().subplots_adjust(left=.20)
plt.ylim(np.min(yData)[0], np.max(yData)[0])
plt.xlabel('Yr',fontsize=20)
plt.ylabel(title,fontsize=20)
plt.xticks(rotation=90)
ax = plt.subplot(111)
ax.set_xticks(range(43))
ax.set_xticklabels(df['Date'])
def formatY(x, pos):
s = '%d' % x
groups = []
while s and s[-1].isdigit():
groups.append(s[-3:])
s = s[:-3]
return s + ','.join(reversed(groups))
def animate(i):
data = yData.iloc[:int(i+1)] #select data range
p = sns.lineplot(x=data.index, y=data[title], color="r")
p.tick_params(labelsize=7)
plt.setp(p.lines,linewidth=2)
ani = matplotlib.animation.FuncAnimation(fig, animate, interval = 50, repeat=False)
ax.yaxis.set_major_formatter(tkr.FuncFormatter(formatY))
plt.show()
I am trying to only animate the line itself. However, currently, the xAxis animates with the line. Each index on the X axis shows up during each interval. How can I have the xAxis show when the graph loads?

Defining a unique ID for 3d bar animations, matplotlib

I'm sorry if my title is very unclear. I am working on an animation that represents a histogram of all the numbers as it crawls through a file.
I'm trying to get a unique ID, but they're all returning the same id. Then I thought about setting a unique ID, but I'm not entirely sure how to do that. I was thinking if I could just isolate the result in the sequence to be its own bar, I could clear it and then update it.
It's really hard to imagine what's going on so here's an image:
Here is the code:
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D
import matplotlib.animation as animation
import numpy as np
import random
from collections import defaultdict
from collections import deque
import re
color = f"#{random.randrange(0x1000000):06x}"
color_border = f"#{random.randrange(0x1000000):06x}"
range = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
digit_finder = re.compile(r'(\d+)')
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection= '3d')
ax.set_xticks(range)
#def text_crawler(file, place, bptrial):
def animate(i):
global z_line
global color
global color_border
_last = _f.readlines(20)
for line in _last:
_line = line.decode("utf-8")
final = digit_finder.findall(_line)
#if not final: continue
print(final[1])
z_line.append(int(final[1]))
for z in z_line:
squared_num = createdict(str(z))
xs = list(squared_num.keys())
ys = list(squared_num.values())
#ax.clear()
ax.bar(xs, ys, zs=z ,zdir='y', color = color, alpha=0.8,
linewidth=3, edgecolor = color_border)
ax.set_yticks(z_line)
ax.set_xticks(range)
print(Axes3D.bar)
def createdict(it):
x = defaultdict(int)
for k in it:
x[k] += 1
return x
count = 10
#final = list(map(lambda x: createdict(x), nums))
with open('graph_index.txt', 'rb') as index_reader:
i_first = index_reader.readline()
if not i_first:
print('This is where you return index = 0')
index_reader.seek(-2, 2)
while index_reader.read(1) != b"\n":
index_reader.seek(-2,1)
i_last = index_reader.readline().decode("utf-8")
index = digit_finder.findall(i_last)
if not index:
print('This is also index = 0...just in case.')
else:
print(int(index[0]), 'This should be a number, in bytes, where you will continue from.')
z_line = deque([],maxlen=7)
with open('numbers.txt', 'rb') as _f:
first = _f.readline(0)
_f.seek(int(index[0]), 0)
while _f.read(1) != b"\n":
_f.seek(-2,1)
ani = animation.FuncAnimation(fig, animate, interval=10000)
print(ani)
plt.show()```

Python: how to use classes for plotting different lines?

I want to plot different lines using a class method. In order to plot a line. Similar to Passing plots out of a class I use this class to plot a line
from matplotlib.figure import Figure
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
class Plotter(object):
def __init__(self, xval=None, yval=None, dim1=None, dim2=None):
self.xval = xval
self.yval = yval
self.dim1 = dim1
self.dim2 = dim2
def plotthing(self):
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(self.dim1,self.dim2))
ax.plot(self.xval, self.yval, 'o-')
return fig
app = Plotter(xval=range(0,10), yval=range(0,10), dim1=5, dim2=5)
plot = app.plotthing()
However I would like to plot different curves in the same plot and define a function inside the class to do so.
Xval = []
Yval = []
xval=range(0,10)
yval=range(0,10)
Xval.append(xval)
Yval.append(yval)
xval=range(0,10)
yval=np.sin(range(0,10))
Xval.append(xval)
Yval.append(yval)
How can I define a function to pass to plotthing?
class Plotter(object):
def __init__(self, xval=None, yval=None, dim1=None, dim2=None):
self.xval = xval
self.yval = yval
self.dim1 = dim1
self.dim2 = dim2
def function_do_plot(x, y):
do something
def plotthing(self):
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(self.dim1,self.dim2))
for i in range(0, len(self.xval)):
x = xval[i]
y = yval[i]
fig = function_do_plot(x, y)
return fig

Consider looping through your lists of inputs without needing a separate method:
class Plotter(object):
def __init__(self, xval=None, yval=None, dim1=None, dim2=None):
self.xval = xval # LIST
self.yval = yval # LIST
self.dim1 = dim1
self.dim2 = dim2
def plotthing(self):
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(self.dim1,self.dim2))
for i, j in zip(self.xval, self.yval):
ax.plot(i, j, 'o-')
return fig
# POPULATE LIST OF RANGES
Xval = []; Yval = []
xval = range(0,10)
yval = range(0,10)
Xval.append(xval)
Yval.append(yval)
xval = range(0,10)
yval = np.sin(range(0,10))
Xval.append(xval)
Yval.append(yval)
# PASS IN LIST OF RANGES
app = Plotter(xval=Xval, yval=Yval, dim1=5, dim2=5)
plot = app.plotthing()
