Re: [Matplotlib-users] Reverse y-axis?

2010-06-25 Thread Joe Kington
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

If using the OO interface:

axes.invert_yaxis()

or

axes.set_ylim(2000, 0) # note the larger value first

or with the pylab interface:

ylim(2000, 0)

[Matplotlib-users] Reverse y-axis?

2010-06-25 Thread Preben Randhol
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?
