I am trying to plot some historical trend data, where x is a date and y is a percentage. When I try to insert a horizontal line with ax1.axhline(y=80, linewidth=1, color='r'), matplotlib breaks, with an error ValueError: ordinal must be = 1. The Traceback most recent call is, File

[Matplotlib-users] question about setting colors of lines using colormap

2009-07-14 Thread per freem
Hi all, i would like to set the colors of the lines i plot (using the plot function) to go from red to blue, in evenly spaced interval. that is, imagine a color map from red to green, where i plot n-many lines, each receiving a color from this color map, starting at the red end and going to

[Matplotlib-users] The vertical part of y error bars. Where are they?

Hello, I'm writing a script that removes data from plots by looping over axes.get_lines(), removing data, then using axes.set_lines(). It works quite well, but when it's a plot with error bars, the vertical part of the error bar is not disappearing. I'm assuming the vertical part is a vline or
