    **Bases:** :class:`GraphicsObject <pyqtgraph.GraphicsObject>`

    :class:`PlotDataItem` provides a unified interface for displaying plot curves, scatter plots, or both.
    It also contains methods to transform or decimate the original data before it is displayed. 

    As pyqtgraph's standard plotting object, ``plot()`` methods such as :func:`pyqtgraph.plot` and

    While it is possible to use :class:`PlotCurveItem <pyqtgraph.PlotCurveItem>` or

            shadowPen    Pen for secondary line to draw behind the primary line. Disabled by default.

            fillLevel    If specified, the area between the curve and fillLevel is filled.
            fillOutline  (bool) If True, an outline surrounding the *fillLevel* area is drawn.
            fillBrush    Fill to use in the *fillLevel* area. May be any single argument accepted by 
                         :func:`mkBrush() <pyqtgraph.mkBrush>`
            stepMode     (str or None) If specified and not None, a stepped curve is drawn.
                         For 'left' the specified points each describe the left edge of a step.
                         For 'right', they describe the right edge. 
                         For 'center', the x coordinates specify the location of the step boundaries.
                         This mode is commonly used for histograms. Note that it requires an additional
                         x value, such that len(x) = len(y) + 1 .

        `connect` supports the follwoing arguments:
        
        - 'all' connects all points.  
        - 'pairs' generates lines between every other point.
        - 'finite' creates a break when a nonfinite points is encountered. 
        - If an ndarray is passed, it should contain `N` int32 values of 0 or 1.
          Values of 1 indicate that the respective point will be connected to the next.
        - In the default 'auto' mode, PlotDataItem will normally use 'all', but if any
          nonfinite data points are detected, it will automatically switch to 'finite'.

            symbol       Symbol to use for drawing points, or a list of symbols

            symbolPen    Outline pen for drawing points, or a list of pens, one
                         per point. May be any single argument accepted by
                         :func:`mkPen() <pyqtgraph.mkPen>`.

            symbolSize   Diameter of symbols, or list of diameters.
            pxMode       (bool) If True, then symbolSize is specified in
                         pixels. If False, then symbolSize is
                         specified in data coordinates.
            ============ ======================================================
            
        Any symbol recognized by :class:`PlotCurveItem <pyqtgraph.PlotCurveItem>` can be specified,
        including 'o' (circle), 's' (square), 't', 't1', 't2', 't3' (triangles of different orientation),
        'd' (diamond), '+' (plus sign), 'x' (x mark), 'p' (pentagon), 'h' (hexagon) and 'star'.
        
        Symbols can also be directly given in the form of a :class:`QtGui.QPainterPath` instance.

        **Optimization keyword arguments:**

            ================= =======================================================================
            antialias         (bool) By default, antialiasing is disabled to improve performance.
                              Note that in some cases (in particular, when `pxMode=True`), points
                              will be rendered antialiased even if this is set to `False`.
            downsample        (int) Reduce the number of samples displayed by the given factor.
            downsampleMethod  'subsample': Downsample by taking the first of N samples.
                              This method is fastest and least accurate.
                              'mean': Downsample by taking the mean of N samples.
                              'peak': Downsample by drawing a saw wave that follows the min
                              and max of the original data. This method produces the best
                              visual representation of the data but is slower.
            autoDownsample    (bool) If `True`, resample the data before plotting to avoid plotting
                              multiple line segments per pixel. This can improve performance when
                              viewing very high-density data, but increases the initial overhead
                              and memory usage.
            clipToView        (bool) If `True`, only data visible within the X range ofthe containing 
                              :class:`ViewBox` is plotted. This can improve performance when plotting
                              very large data sets where only a fraction of the data is visible
                              at any time.
            dynamicRangeLimit (float or `None`) Limit off-screen y positions of data points. 
                              `None` disables the limiting. This can increase performance but may
                              cause plots to disappear at high levels of magnification.
                              The default of 1e6 limits data to approximately 1,000,000 times the 
                              :class:`ViewBox` height.
            dynamicRangeHyst  (float) Permits changes in vertical zoom up to the given hysteresis
                              factor (the default is 3.0) before the limit calculation is repeated.
            skipFiniteCheck   (bool) Optimization parameter that can speed up plotting by not 
                              checking and compensating for NaN values.  
                              If set to `True`, and NaN values exist, the data
                              may not be displayed or plot will take a
                              significant performance hit.  Defaults to `False`.
