Jouni, thanks for your reply. I could test that plot([1,2,3],[1,2,3]) setp(gca(), 'xlim', (3.0,1.0)) works, but setp(gca(), 'xlim', reversed(getp(gca(), 'xlim'))) gives me an error : --- TypeError

Hi, I come from using Matlab and I was just curious if it was possible to create an arange from a quick for loop of numbers? For example: 0:3:100 would generate: 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, , 96, 99 And I would want this range to be in an arange() object. Is there a similar way of doing this? Thanks. --

Maybe this will get you going: import pylab as p import datetime as d from matplotlib.dates import DateFormatter t = [ d.datetime (2007,9,1,12), d.datetime(2007,9,2,12), d.datetime(2007,9,3,12) ] t = p.date2num(t) p.plot_date( t, [10,20,30] ) p.xticks(t) y = DateFormatter('%Y-%m-%d') p.gca().xaxis

Thanks for fixing that. I forgot to mention when I added baseline alignment -- I really have no idea how to get a good baseline out of the usetex machinery, or if that's even possible. Now that you've fixed that bug, the baseline-misalignment problem should only affect those who explicitly tur
