同时运行Tkinter窗口和Matplotlib绘图

Question

我正在编写一个Python脚本，用于可视化来自压力传感器的数据，并执行定时测试。我在一个实时的Matplotlib图上绘制数据，我还有一个Tkinter窗口来显示计时器，以及瞬时传感器读数。以下是我目前思考的顺序：

1. 要求用户在Tkinter窗口中输入测试的时间量。用户输入时间后处理此窗口
2. 创建实时绘图并开始读取数据
3. 打开Tkinter窗口显示定时器和瞬时数据
4. 测试完成后，处理Tkinter窗口和图形。提示用户输入下次测试的时间量。重复步骤2-4

这是我到目前为止的代码。为了节省空间，我省略了一些不重要的事情：

        global e
        global t
        string = e.get()
        t = int(string)
        root.destroy()

root = Tk()
root.geometry("1024x600")
root.title('Enter the time')
root.bind('<KP_Enter>', gettext)

labelfont = ('times', 70, 'bold')

label = Label(root, text="Enter the time:")
label.config(font=labelfont)
label.config(height=3, width=20)
label.pack()

e.pack(ipady=3)
e.focus_set()

我已经测试了这个代码的所有组件，它们都是单独工作的。我似乎无法把这一切都放在一起。我猜我将需要使用一些多线程排序，但我没有在网上找到任何类似的问题
