Hi, Well the first bit about wanting a specific column and the last bit about not wanting to print all the data in and read it back, you get that from the example I gave you. If you paste what I wrote for you line by line it should become clearer for you, additionally it avoids you have to write your own parsing code.
As far as your plotting goes, unless you actually post what you are entering in the script (exactly as you have it), then it is impossible to say. For example plt.plot() plt.show there is no way that is all you have? if it is, then of course you will get a fail as you are asking matplotlib to plot but are not providing it with any data to plot! Perhaps I am being particularly dense but "What I now need to do is have the information in that column plotted as the number of rows vs. the mean value of all of the rows." means nothing to me. Sorry. What do you want on the X and Y... do you mean you want to plot your individual column (8 i think you called it) against the mean of all the other rows? If so I would expect you would have a dimensions issue Martin -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/How-do-you-Plot-data-generated-by-a-python-script--tp32328822p32338485.html Sent from the matplotlib - users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EMC VNX: the world's simplest storage, starting under $10K The only unified storage solution that offers unified management Up to 160% more powerful than alternatives and 25% more efficient.
