Hi, I am quite new to python and I am trying to do some simple plots. I am using python Python 2.6.4 and numpy/1.5.1 I have an ASCII data file that I am reading with the following lines of code:
import pylab import numpy as np filename='something.dat' file = open(filename) rho = np.array([], dtype = 'float64') entropy = np.array([], dtype = 'float64') for line in file: columns = line.split() rho = np.append(rho,columns[0]) entropy = np.append(entropy,columns[1]) and rho and entropy are apparently read correctly, but when I look to the data type print rho.dtype print entropy.dtype I get |S22 , what's that? Then I want to plot a logarithmic plot and I do pylab.plot(np.log(rho), entropy) and I get NotImplementedError: Not implemented for this type Does anybody has a clue? I do not know how to proceed Many thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
