But anyway, the really simple cases, are reallly simle, even with genfromtxt. I guess it's a matter of debate about what is a better API: a few functions, each adding a layer of sophistication or one function, with layers of sophistication added with an array of keyword arguments. In either case, though I wish the multiple functionality built on the same, well optimized core code. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [email protected]
