David, I originally wanted to use PSTricks as I use that for my vector graphics and LaTeX for my written documents, but it doesn't integrate smoothly with Python. So, I want to quickly become conversant with PyX so I can use it to generate exactly the figures I need for our model output reports. Despite reading the users guide and FAQ, and looking at examples on the web site, I'm still not sure exactly what needs to be included, and in which order. I know that experience will help, but today is my first attempt to get results with code that produces matplotlib results ... not the right size, not having the proper axes, no labeling, but they do print. So I know the data and functions are correct. Your example helps very much, but with understanding comes more questions. For example, given the functions in the testFunction.py file I attached, do I need to use graph.data.points() to convert the data before passing them to the rest of the PyX code? May I have an example of how to do that for the normal or logistic curves there? (Once I understand what I'm doing, and why I'm doing it I'll be able to adapt all the curve-generating functions correctly.) Would the graph.data.paramdate() function be used in my code?
