Hi Jef,

please apologize me for the delay
i had days without internet connection :-/

sorry if i gived you a bad explanation ...
for sky plot i means plot like :

http://www.tpub.com/content/armyengineer/en0593a/en0593a0209.htm

the data i'm receiving from the gps device are :

PRN = satellite ID
EL = ELevation (integer 0-90)
AZ = Azimuth (integer 0-359)
Ss = Signal-Strenghts (decibels)
Used = (1,0)


for each satellite visible at the moment,
i receive data for each second.

i'm printing the data in an html table

but i tring to learn how to use matplotlib to display the data in a "sky-plot" (i don't know the real name of this polar-diagram)

i gived a look at matplotlib tutorial pages .. and i find really usefull the "web-plot" example
 ... i'll follow that way
but the real problem is :

i don't know the math formulae and matplotlib syntax needed to create a such kind of plot.

thanks for any suggestion!

regards,

Massimo.

Hi All,


i'm starting to learn matplotlib,
for my study i need to parse the nmea sentence from a gps
and plot a "sky graphic" to plot satellite visibility.

(i tried to write code from scratch ... it works but my teacher suggest me to not reinvent the well, so, to have a good nema parser, i installed gpsd ... it has in the source code a nice python code that allow me to retrieve satellite constallation iformation).

now i need to learn how to produce a sky plot,
have you any suggestion on how to produce such kind of graphic ?


Massimo: I've no idea what a "sky plot" is. Can you point us to an example?

-Jeff
thanks to all for any suggestion!

Massimo.
