[Matplotlib-users] Newbie question - rotated XY chart

2008-09-24 Thread greg7201

I am such a matplotlib newbie... but it looks very cool.

I need to create a basic graph, EXCEPT the x axis needs to go down the page,
and the y axis is across the bottom.  (The chart is to display drilling
information and the norm for drilling engineers is to display depth - the x
axis - down the left side of graphs).

Can matplotlib do this?  Just point me in the right direction... I'll figure
it out.

Thanks in advance...

That does the trick.  I assumed that swaping the plot parameters would cause
other problems, but it doesn't.

That was simple!

Thanks!

Starting with the obvious -- x and y are arbitrary, so instead of

   plot (x, y)

you can

  plot(y, x)

If you need the data to be descending (smaller values on top, larger
values on bottom) you can invert the normal ordering with

  ylim(big_value, small_value)

If neither of these is what you are looking for, please elaborate a bit.

[Matplotlib-users] Need to do a legend for a broken_barh plot

2008-10-01 Thread greg7201

Any ideas?  I can't seem to get it to work.  I am basically doing a
horizontal stacked bar chart, and using different colors for the stacks. 
Just need some way to identify what each color stands for.
