from wigglystuff.utils import refresh_matplotlib
import matplotlib.pylab as plt
import numpy as np

@refresh_matplotlib
def plot_data(data):
    plt.plot(np.arange(len(data)), np.cumsum(data))

widget = ImageRefreshWidget(src=plot_data([1, 2, 3, 4]))
display(widget)

# Update the widget with new data
widget.src = plot_data([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6])
