You need to use the numpy 'where' functionality

import numpy as np

x, y, z = np.loadtxt("fileName.dat", unpack=True)  # or similar

# x, y and z are now numpy arrays and have built in functionality as 
follows:

s = (z < 10.0) & (z**2 > 0.5)  # or some other constraint.  Produces an 
array 's' of boolean values

plot(x[s], y[s])  # will plot only those x,y pairs for which s is True

[Matplotlib-users] How to plot only points which lie in a certain range







I'm sorry for this newbie question. I have a data file consisting of 3
columns, and want to plot the first versus the second column, but only if
the parameter in the third column lies in a certain range. Does somebody
have an idea how to do that?
