Dear ALL,

I want to plot lines ("edges") between a sequence of points ("nodes"),
using the following code:

from pylab import *
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
nodes = load('nodes.dat')
edges = load('edges.dat')
n = nodes.shape[0]
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(1,1,1)
plt.plot(nodes[:,0],nodes[:,1],'ob')
for i in range(n):
        try:
                t = edges[i,0]-1
                u = edges[i,1]-1
                x = [nodes[t,0], nodes[u,0]]
                y = [nodes[t,1], nodes[u,1]]
                plot(x,y,'-b')
        except:
                continue
plt.show()

And here are the "nodes.dat"

-61.05 10.4
-79.4333333333 9.15
-70.6666666667 9.53333333333
-63.1166666667 7.91666666667
-63.1166666667 10.55
-81.1833333333 7.51666666667
-56.4833333333 3.1
-60.5 3.93333333333
-81.0166666667 7.66666666667
-67.4333333333 8.93333333333
-65.9666666667 10.3166666667
-78.9333333333 8.38333333333
-72.8666666667 9.83333333333
-68.4 10.6166666667
-72.9833333333 10.6166666667

...and "edges.dat" files:

    1    5
    4    5
    5   11
   10   11
   10   14
    3   14
    3   13
   13   15
    4    8
    7    8
   12   13
    2   12
    2    9
    6    9

The above code works quite well. However, I do *not* want to have the
plot done for each edge inside the for loop; instead, I would like to
have the x,y points stored for being plotted at once, using a plot
command issued outside the loop. It seems that it could be done using
MPL line collections, but I could not figure out how to do this. Any
hints?

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

With best regards,
