I don't know a better package for plotting financial data -- mpl works just fine. It's just that the API for the matplotlib.finance module could be better. I would prefer something designed around record arrays with attrs 'date', 'open', 'high', 'low', 'close', 'volume'. Take a look at the examples I pointed you to - some of them make financial graphs w/o using the finance module. As for CSV files, take a look at matplotlib.mlab.csv2rec (see also the examples at) http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/search.html?q=codex+csv2rec JDH ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
