From what I see matplotlib is just connecting points. Just because your x values have what you think are gaps, matplotlib doesn't know that. I assume your two calls to plot use the x and y values for each plot. Matplotlib will connect points that are sequential no matter what the x values are. There may be ways to assign the y values as NANs for those "missing" x values. -- Cheers, Lou Pecora Code 6362 Naval Research Lab Washington, DC 20375 USA Ph: +202-767-6002 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
