Perhaps what you want is simply the xplt.hold('on') function that will 
hold the previous plot.  Then you can plot data points one at a time in 
a loop.  You may have to issue calls to xplt.pause(<milliseconds>)  to 
delay the next plot.

I just checked in to CVS a fix for the current problem that xplt.plot 
cannot handle plotting a single data point.   (a quick fix is to get rid 
of the squeeze function everywhere it shows up in xplt/Mplot.py).  

Also, check out xplt.animate() if you think the result is blinking too 
much.

I just tried the following code and it gave me a nice animation:

xplt.figure()
x = r_[0:10:1000j]
xplt.hold('on')
for xval in x:
      yval = sin(xval / 4)
      xplt.plot(xval, yval, 'x')
      xplt.pause(100)

If you don't like the changing limits on the plot as it runs, then just 
issue
xplt.limits(xlow,xhigh,ylow,yhigh) before the for loop.
