Mag, Are you looking at time series or just a single value per user?
Time series lends itself to a line plot. There are plenty of style options, etc. to highlight each user and the average. If you're looking at a single value per user, a bar chart may be a good choice: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/pyplot_api.html#matplotlib.pyplot.bar You could then show the average using a horizontal line? http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/pyplot_api.html#matplotlib.pyplot.axhline Mag Gam wrote: > > I am new to matplot but I am liking it a lot.
