I assume the file is using fixed-length fields. I don't know of any
ready-made tool for reading files with non-delimited fields, with or
without gaps, so you probably have to write your own to fit your
particular file. The general approach would be to read a line in as a
character string, use slices to isolate the fields, try to convert each
to a number, and if it fails put in a flag value. These numbers can go
in a list, and as you go through the lines you accumulate the lists in a
list. Then you can use numpy.ma.masked_equal(your_list_of_lists,
your_flag_value) to create a 2-D masked array suitable for use by mpl.
