plt.show()

I have written code for matplotlib but this code does not show the actual locations. I want him to show me the distance he took at the moment.

I can get the distance. But there is one more problem I want to show on this "matplotlib.pyplot" screen according to the distances. Can I use a particle filter? How do I adapt my Particle Filter to my codes?

I can find the ibeacon distances right now. the only problem I find is that I show distances as animation using particle filter or matplotlib.
