 Separately, if your blue data are so quantized, you might use the blue data 
 to choose a color for an axvspan (or axhspan, I  forget which is which) to 
 indicate how certain regions of time have different values of blue data.  
 Then you would only need one set of axes, and your x,y labels would indicate 
 what you want.

Or perhaps colour the line segments based on the discrete value.  

Cheers.  Jody

Re: [Matplotlib-users] How to control the y feedback value?

2013-09-19 Thread Skip Montanaro
 I assume that you are using a twinx call to get the second y axis.  I think 
 that this question has come up before, and I think the solution was to switch 
 which data are put on the second set of axes.  (Of course to keep the same 
 visual layout you would have to play with the y axis spine locations.)

Good point.  I just changed the command line options so the plot whose
Y values are of interest are plotted on the right Y axis.

 Separately, if your blue data are so quantized, you might use the blue data 
 to choose a color for an axvspan (or axhspan, I  forget which is which) to 
 indicate how certain regions of time have different values of blue data.  
 Then you would only need one set of axes, and your x,y labels would indicate 
 what you want.

This also works, though I (and anyone looking at the graph) would have
to remember the mapping between color and numeric value. If I was a
synethete this might work, but I doubt most people would automatically
recall the mapping. :-)

Thx,

Skip

No assumption of super-human recollection or inference abilities . I would add 
a figure or axes legend with proxy artists for the appropriate color mappings, 
or even just a bunch of text boxes with the text label colored appropriately.  
You may be interested in my answer to a stackoverflow question [1].
