Thanks, that was a good start. One question: How can I automatically get a list of colours for each bar? I don't know how many bars I'm going to have so I can't manually pick them... This feels like a common enough problem that I'm guessing there's a solution somewhere in matplotlib? cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Batch Processing & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get a FREE DOWNLOAD! and learn more about uberSVN rich system, user administration capabilities and model configuration.
