Maybe you could plot the ratio? That should give you rainfall per degree Celsius. On 9 Jul 2015 20:11, "Jonno" wrote: > I was thinking of doing that or having 2 surface plots but I think it > would be visually quite confusing. > I was trying to think of an example since I'm sure someone has come

It might just have to be 2 separate contour/surface plots side by side, perhaps with a linked cursor between them. The other thing I considered was combining the a,b data into a single value (combined % deviation from ideal?) but that reduces the data which I'd rather not do if possible. On Thu, J

I was thinking of doing that or having 2 surface plots but I think it would be visually quite confusing. I was trying to think of an example since I'm sure someone has come up with a nice way to display this kind of data. Imagine if the data was average temperature (a) and average rainfall (b) for

In the x,y plane, could you overlay contours of a with contours of b? -Sterling On Jul 8, 2015, at 8:19PM, Jonno wrote: > I have a bunch of experimental data points each of which has 2 variables > (x,y) and 2 results (a,b). Each pair or x,y values produces a pair of a,b > resultant values. > T

[Matplotlib-users] How to visualize a,b results of x,y variables

2015-07-08 Thread Jonno
I have a bunch of experimental data points each of which has 2 variables (x,y) and 2 results (a,b). Each pair or x,y values produces a pair of a,b resultant values. There is a single optimal pair of a,b values and I'd like to figure out a way to illustrate the data to show the relationship between
