(I suspect you are not into matplotlib, but the plot requires a list for x and y in plot(x,y). xy[0,0] turns out to be a float64, which the syntax rejects. I put [] around it, and it works. Is there a better way?

        ax1.plot([xy[0,0]],[xy[0,1]],'gs')
        if npts == 90: # exactly 90 frames
ax1.plot([xy[npts-1,0]], xy[npts-1,1]],'rs') # mark it is a last frame
        else:
ax1.plot([xy[npts-1,0]], ==>[xy[npts-1,1]],'ys') # mark 90th frame in path
        last_pt = len(xy[:,0])
        ax1.plot([xy[npts-1,0]],[xy[npts-1,1]],'rs')

Well, command line was easy to get to. It's on the menu for python, but it gives me >>>. How do I get to the folder with the py file? Can I switch to a c:\ type operation?

Back to exploring.

When I use F5 to execute a py program in IDLE, Win7, I get a tab error on an indented else.

What happens if you execute from a command line? Do you get the same error?
If so look at the lines before.
If not try closing and restarting IDLE

HTH,

Once you've discovered the DOS box, you should also discover QuickEdit mode. In the DOS box, right click on the title bar, and choose "Properties". First tab is Options. Enable Quick-Edit mode, and press OK. Now, you can drag a rectangle on the DOS box, and use right click to paste it to the clipboard. Practice a bit and you'll find it easy. An essential tool.
