With your help I was able to finally create this with matplotlib, http://www.hep.wisc.edu/cms/comp/cmsprod/diskUserUsage.png and this is my final script, http://www.hep.wisc.edu/cms/comp/cmsprod/plotDiskUse.py One thing that surprised me was to shrink the font for the names required changing ax1 even though the barh plot is on ax2. See these lines: ---------- ax2.barh(pos, listUse, color=listColors, height=1.0, align='center') ... for tick in ax1.yaxis.get_major_ticks(): tick.label1.set_fontsize(8) ---------- Surprising.
