Hi, this is an odd result. I copied your code and tried to execute it with Python 2.5. It came back with a socket area, and a reference to my firewall. Very strange. Ah, I happen to have a comm port open to another computer. Apparently Python didn't like that.
Anyway, where, folder, does your program write the files? I'm not familiar with figure, but apparently using it produces some "canvas" that plt.hist places it's output on. One can than save fig to a file. What happens if I don't use figure? I just put a copy of the line plt.hist([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], range=(0, 20)) after import. When I execute the program, I don't see a graphic appear. So doesn't matplotlib produce graphic output aside from use of figure? I think I've confused hist as part of numpy and histogram as part of matplotlib. A visit to the numpy and matplotlib web sites shows I am confused. Let's see. I want to know how to use a histogram in Python, so there is a histogram function and a hist. So a histogram is for histograms. What fun word play. :-) Maybe numpy should have called their function ahistogram! Johan Grönqvist wrote: > Wayne Watson skrev: > >> See Subject.
