Simultaneous highlighting of spikes

[cpcloud]

It would be extremely useful to be able to see the detected spikes highlighted on the "features" plot simultaneously as one is scrolling through them in the spike browser.

It would be very useful indeed. However, I am afraid that in the current architecture it can be difficult to implement. The problem is that the matplotlib figures are independent and afaik there is no easy to implement communication between them.

@belevtsoff Do you know if there is any simple way to do it?

@btel no, I don't know. I think it will make the way components are connected unclear anyhow.

Maybe we could implement something like SpikeBrowserWithFeatures which will show two windows (or one combined plot) with spike_browser and feature_browser, or some another structure which will give an idea about features of the visible spikes? The bigger problem is, I think, that highlighting couple of spikes will require re-rendering the whole feature plot which usually takes quite some time...

Couldn't one just redraw individual lines? Also, this feature might create problems if the goal is to ultimately move to opengl.
