[Matplotlib-users] Another Gnuplot style question

2009-04-28 Thread Joseph Smidt
Okay, I am another gnuplot user trying to migrate over to matplotlib. I like what I see, but there are a couple things that are very easy to do in Gnuplot that I can't figure out how to do with matplotlib. I have a file with 3 columns of data called data.txt that looks like: 0. 1.
