I don't know anything about graphing modules, actually i am looking for a good one myself which is why you post caught my eye.
I might be able to help with # 3 There are loads of python modules for time/string manipulation which are really easy to use. You should use seconds as your x axis. it is common for timestamps to be in seconds and there are lots of modules and examples that work with them. converting them back and forth in a myriad of formats. I have used timedelta (http://docs.python.org/lib/datetime- timedelta.html) to calculate how many seconds are in a number of hours. from datetime import timedelta timeStr = '0:03:28.234' timeArray = timeStr.split(':') hours = float(timeArray[0]) min = float(timeArray[1]) sec = float(timeArray[2]) time = timedelta(hours=hours, minutes=min,seconds=sec) now you can do print time.seconds This may not be exactly what you want. i'd have a look at the time module http://docs.python.org/lib/module-time.html do a search for some examples toby On 25 Sep, 08:28, "Dalius Dobravolskas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > > 1.
