in reply to Running subs ,,in background''

I don't know anything about threads or forks, but I was curious as to why you would have more than one drawing thread. I would have thought that you would have a single drawing thread that sleeps for a minute at a time, waking up only to redraw the graph based on information that the main program had collected, then go back to sleep again.

    Because it doesn't draw just one graph of the data. In fact, it draws 35 graphs, but some of them are refreshed realy rarely. I could make it one thread taking a lot of communication, but I wanted to keep the source simple.
