Hi I would like to plot and process large data array with a GUI. The problem is that with small data array, the user interface works correctly but with large array the plotting (1D and 2D plot) encounters big delays and the interactivity (scrolling, updating...) becomes impossible. What's the best way to plot, process and interact with large data arrays ? Thanks.

How are you plotting? What is the best way to visualize your data that requires minimal memory?

The best way would probably include a few steps:

Instead of plotting repeatedly, update the xdata and ydata of the existing plots
Downsample your data to just the required pieces
Use drawnow to flush events that have built up in the queue.

I need to plot and analysse spikes trains, coming from electrophysiological device. It coulb be 2-3 seconds of data recording (less than one Mo text file) or 4-5 minutes of data recording (btween 50 and 100 Mo).

I need to vizualize these spikes trains before and after various process, like peaks detection (spikes detection), denoising, spikes clustering...

Downsampling could something to try...

The plotting could also depending of the zoom I choose. I don't really know how to do, but to visualize all the data I could downsample by a factor 10 for example, and for a big zoom I could keep the original sampling...honnestly I don't know how to get the zooming level.

Please post any details, e.g. the used code and the absolute size of what you call "large". A 2D plot of 1e9 points will be slow under all conditions, while a plot of 1e5 lines can be impeded by a variety of factors. Without seeing the code, we cannot guess the cause of the slowdown or suggest any improvements.

no, no, I plot 3e6 points sorry, a 1D plot.

Even 3e6 points are a lot for standard display resolutions.

I am also wondering if the plotting updating is delayed not only by the visualisation but also by the calculation or the modification apllied just before replot. It's certainly both.
