Updating Flot displayed data

Question

I'm using Flot with jQuery to display a graph. I want to update some information on the graph and then re-plot it. I can see that I can use plot.getOptions().yaxes[0].max for example to update the y-axis max value and have got that to work but I'm using a plugin to add side notes to the graph.

I've used getOptions again to update the side notes data and can read the side notes' data, but can't see how I can get the side notes displayed data to update without completely re-plotting the graph.

Any suggestions?

Since you have to redraw anyway, generating a new plot with the new options is the simplest solution. You do not gain much by trying to optimize it (unless you want to redraw every second).
