I think this is a trivial question.. If there are a set of data points being plotted in a subplot, say 0 to 1000 points; the subplot displays the ticks as 0 to 1000 points and it is desired to translate those points to 0 t0 250 points on the subplot display - with point 0 mapping to point 0,

Not sure if I understand, but I think this is what you want to do: y = rand(1000) # your 1000 random points x = linspace(0, 250, y.size) plot(x,y) /A Iyer wrote: I think this is a trivial question.. If there are a set of data points being plotted in a subplot, say 0 to 1000 points; the

Thanx for the response.. I'd like to avoid the pylab interface... linspace is good. assume you have 1000 points of data and you'd like the ticks to display from 0 to 4, since the 1000 points of data were sampled at 250 Hz. any non-pylab ideas ? Indexlocator? -iyer --- Antonio Gonzalez

Wouldn't it make sense to simply change the xticks to reflect the time instead of the number of data points ? Like, if we needed to display 0 t0 1000 points over a period of time, wouldn't it be nice to translate the xticks to reflect the period of time ? Would you suggest using IndexLocator in
