1. I have to print values of 4 different sensor taken at every 10 sec in line graph.
So I have used subplots to do so.
I took reading every 10 sec, plot them for 100 such readings & then close the graph & start over again.
This is continuous graph, i.e every 10 sec I read value, I have to print it & so on for 15 minutes.
It is not like I have values in array/list before printing the graph.
2. I had took reference from below links:

3. I am able to do so by scatter plot. My code is below. It has two files: main.py & graph.py.
main.py calls graph.py.
4. I am using python 2.7 & today I have downloaded matplotlib.
Attached is code file. It has two files in it.
Also code link is: http://www.docdroid.net/z5Ba1IS/graph.txt.html
problems:
1. In graph.py, I have function print_val(). In this I have called ax1.scatter() to print scatter graph.
I need to print line graph. if I replace it with ax1.plot(x,y), it don't print anything.
i have to do it by line graph. how to do that.
2. In graph.py functions, I have defined global variables as "global fig,rect,ax1,ax2,ax3,ax4,plt"
But they are not defined globally in file, but inside the functions.
I don't know somehow code is working.
Can someone suggest me the correct way to do that so that ax1 defined in init(), is same as in print_val().
I think classes would be correct option for this. But I have no experience of it.
3. in main.py, I have defined "except KeyboardInterrupt: graph.close(); GPIO.cleanup() ".
But when I exit the code by pressing ctrl+z , graph screen remains on screen.
4. While graph is plotting, if I minimize the graph screen & then maximize it.
Graph disappears from the open window & only grey screen appears.
