Dear All,
I am quite new to matplotlib and facing some trouble using boxplots.
I'd like to plot two boxes (different length of data) in one plot, from
the docs
I understood:
from pylab import *
data = [[1.1, 2.1, 3.1], [1, 2.1]]
boxplot(data, positions=[1,2])
but this gives me:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "boxplot_demo1.py", line 5, in <module>
data = array([[1.1, 2.1, 3.1], [1, 2.1]])
File
"D:\APPS\python25\lib\site-packages\numpy\oldnumeric\functions.py", line
79, in array
return mu.array(sequence, dtype, copy=copy)
ValueError: setting an array element with a sequence.
The call succeeds if all entries have the same length, but then
matplotlib seems to use data from rows, not columns so that
Ihave to do:
boxplot(transpose(data), positions=[1,2])
Could you point me to what I do wrong? I need especially
the different data length.
Thank you
Gerhard
I am using python 2.5 matplotlib 0.87.7 on windows XP with numpy 1.0.1
(on older installation with python 2.4 and older numpy has the same issue.
