Guessing about what you want: Does the class change with time? that is, perhaps you have a class foo, and foo evolves, and you would like to plot a history of some traits of foo, but at any given moment foo only contains its current state?
If so, I think you need to have a function in foo, or even a separate class, that takes `snapshots' of foo's traits on one schedule, and stores them, and can also plot them on some schedule. Choosing how to do that is more a python problem than a matplotlib problem; personally, I have something set up so class 'profile' has functions to 'setup_plot' and 'add_current_state_to_plot', and I just have to choose when to call the latter. Or you can just store the values and plot at the end; once you have one list of the times, and a separate list of each trait's history at those times, you're set up for matplotlib plotting, e.g. from pylab import * plot(times, traitA, times, traitB, times, traitC) show() although, while looking for a simple example, I found this: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/plotfile_demo.html which is not totally simple but looks great. &C On Jan 18, 2009, at 9:36 AM, Simone Gabbriellini wrote: > Dear List, > > I have some variables I want to plot... the values of those variable > change in time...
