Re: [Matplotlib-users] Reverse y-axis?
There's no single function to do it, but just reversing the current ylimits manually is a one-liner. ("plt" is "matplotlib.pyplot", here) plt.ylim(plt.ylim()[::-1]) Hope that helps, -Joe On Fri, Jun 25, 2010 at 6:41 AM, Preben Randhol wrote: > Hi > > I need to plot some data vs depth.

[Matplotlib-users] Reverse y-axis?
Hi I need to plot some data vs depth. In stead of giving depths as 0,-1000,-2000, I want to give the depths as 0,1000,2000 but when plotting the data goes downwards (as if they had been negative). Can I get the y-axis to reverse so it goes downwards and not upwards? -- ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
