I get a lovingly helpful traceback trying to use the histogram function
that I'm hoping to get some useful help with. The data (and program)
are at ftp://polar.sri.com/pub/ayoung: hist.dat and hist.py.
Thanks! Andrew
hist.py
--------
from matplotlib import pylab
f = open( 'hist.dat', 'r' )
xs = []
while( True ):
x = f.readline()
if x == "": break
xs.append( float(x) )
xs.sort()
pylab.hist( xs,100 )
