Thanks for all information/websites and advice. Yes the graph is exactly like the one you mentioned. Also, I would like to have them in one not two, but I think since the dimension of the x and y are not same, I have no choice.
What I like to do now is comparing 2 (later 3 or more) different sets of data, e.g. comparison among Conc[1] with sets.... I have changed the script like this: with open("ourtest_out.list", "r") as f: z = numpy.array([float(v) for v in f.readline().split()[1:]]) a1 = numpy.loadtxt("ourtest_out1.list", skiprows=3) a2 = numpy.loadtxt("ourtest_out2.list", skiprows=3) a3 = numpy.loadtxt("ourtest_out3.list", skiprows=3) N = 100 Conc1 = a1[0:, N+1:] #base case Conc2 = a2[0:, N+1:] # Ydw=0.1 Conc3 = a3[0:, N+1:] # nuh=0.01 lw = 2.0 #linewidth dpi = 96 figure(figsize=(10,6),dpi=dpi) pyplot.subplot(111) pyplot.plot(Conc1[1], z) pyplot.plot(Conc2[1], z) pyplot.plot(Conc3[1], z) pyplot.xlim(0,1) plt.xlabel('Conc') plt.ylabel('z') pyplot.grid(True) show() savefig('Conc.png') close() This can give me the comparison in one graph, I suppose. Now, first I like to know if this is a fine/logical script. otherwise I would like to know about probably a better way to write it with less lines! and second, when I do plot, each grid between x or y axis, has a thickness of 0.2. what I like do is to change it to 0.1 grid . So, I couldn't find it through matplotlib website (at least with my searching. Would it be possible helping me about? I am new at python and a beginner and I do have learn while I work with it...
