Hi, I've figured this out. There was actually invalid input for the range the way my code really was. The code I had posted was completely wrong, anyway. All good now. :)
The code p.plot(pvar[t,ipos,:]) ax = gca() ax.set_ylim(-10,10) p.show() works with or without a loop wrapped around it. :) Cheers, Christian On Wed, 7 Jan 2009 10:21:30 +1100 Christian Lerrahn <li...@penpal4u.net> wrote: > Hi, > the code given works for me in principle.
