Choosing a Python library for the real-time graphics / GUI

[dangallichan]

It seems that existing solutions use:

• Matplotlib (animate) for graphics
• Tkinter for buttons
• PyQt for buttons
• pygame for graphics and interface
• PySimpleGUI for interface

Note that some options may also have licencing considerations!

It isn't clear what the best way forward would be...

Then it seems that Plotly might be possible: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63589249/plotly-dash-display-real-time-data-in-smooth-animation

I think that could make everything look more 'modern' and pretty - but could be another headache as well!
