Okay, I am another gnuplot user trying to migrate over to matplotlib. I like what I see, but there are a couple things that are very easy to do in Gnuplot that I can't figure out how to do with matplotlib.
I have a file with 3 columns of data called data.txt that looks like: 0.0000 1.0000 1.0 0.0634 1.0655 1.1353 0.1269 1.1353 1.28899916094 0.1903 1.2097 1.46345358199 0.2538 1.2889 1.6615188369 0.3173 1.3734 1.88639043926 ... I can plot this data, 2 versus 1 and 3 versus 1, very easily on the same plot, with a legend, with log y values, and only for the xrange between 2 and 3 with gnuplot: set log y set xrange[2:3] plot 'data.txt' u 1:2 w l t 'apples', 'data.txt' u 1:3 w l t 'oranges' Now, how do I do that same thing with matplotlob? Ie: 1. Both graphs overlayed on the same plot. 2. Semilogy. (log y values), 3. Only ploy for x in the range 2-3. 4. Legend for the two graphs on same plot. I have spent time looking through the documentation but I can't find anyway to do this is any straightforward way. plotfile() looks promising, but I can't seem to make it do the above. Thanks in advance.
