Matplotlib on actual turtlebots

edit

Hello, I've been using Matplotlib to plot my data by storing variables in lists as the node is running/ the while loop is running, and then plotting these lists with Matplotlib after pressing Ctrl+C/when I stop the node. For example, I have a node that publishes to the /cmd_vel topic, I store the values of what it is publishing in a list, and then when I stop the node I get the plot. This is what I've been doing in simulations, was wondering if Matplotlib would work the same way on actual turtlebots and if anyone has any experience with this.

Thanks in advance
