Hi
I apologize for my late response, I was in the
hospital.
Thanks for the tip, the ticks are now magically
divided by a constant.
Here's some input on scaling the input data:
Say -- you have 25000 points of data. You want to
capture each and every point of data on a plot. Mpl
lists the ticks as a function of the number of data
points, which is cool. Now comes a situation where in
you want to manipulate the ticks to display - say the
time, for eg., the 100th data point came in at 1 sec,
the 200th came in at 2 sec, and so on - Is scaling the
input data the way to go ?
