Hi André,
Yep, the problem isn't difficult to work around. I forgot to mention that the
way I got around it was by having separate data files. In my case that required
only two files.
But to address the issue itself, are you saying that this arises *because* NaN
can be (and is) parsed as a float? Do you mean that PyX actually is attempting
to draw data points at NaN positions?
If yes, is it wise of PyX to try to do that? As you might've guessed, my
intuition is that if a value is not a number, NaN, it should not even attempt
to be drawn.
Peace,
Brendon

Beautiful is writing same markup. Internet Explorer 9 supports
standards for HTML5, CSS3, SVG 1.1, ECMAScript5, and DOM L2 & L3.
