Howard,

Are you trying to plot 4 lines with the same y-axis or with two or more
y-axes?  I only ask because the values of your 5th column are many orders of
magnitude smaller than the values of the other ys.

If you want multiple y-axes on the same plot, then you might want to look at
Parasite Axes.  If not, then you can very simply plot this like so (assuming
that 'data' is a 2-D numpy array).

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.plot(data[:, 0], data[:, 1])
plt.plot(data[:, 0], data[:, 2])
plt.plot(data[:, 0], data[:, 3])
plt.plot(data[:, 0], data[:, 4])

plt.show()

I am sure that my 4 plot statements can be simplified, but I can't verify
that right now.

I hope that helps.
