The main matplotlib documentation has a section called "user's guide" (http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/contents.html). And the third item in the user's guide is "pyplot tutorial". So, I believe anyone who're willing to learn matplotlib, is willing to read through some sections of the user's guide and at least the tutorial. Is my standard too high? I'm not saying that the documentation is complete, and any suggestion (or even contribution) will be very appreciated. However, while you're saying that "pedagogy" is missing in our documentation, but it seems like that you haven't even read the very basic tutorial (because, as John said, the answer to your original question is in that tutorial). And I doubt how this could be positive criticism (while I understand you want to be positive). Anyhow, for your original question, try plot([0, 1, 2], [0, 1.5, 2], "-") plot([1], [1.5], "go") -JJ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.
