Hi everyone, I am trying to set up a code to do some plotting and before I get too far I wanted to ask some structure questions. Basically I want to tell python to read 2 datasets, plot them on the same scale on the same x-y axis , read a third dataset and match the name from the first dataset, then label certain values from the third... complicating matters is that all these data are part of much, much larger sets in seperate files, the paths look like: pathway1/namered.dat pathway2/nameblue.dat matchingfile.txt
so I do fopen on the matchingfile, read it with asciitable, and then I have a column in that file called 'name' and a column called 'M', I sort the file, return a subset that is interesting, and get name1, name2, etc for every subset. I want to make a plot that looks like: plot pathway1/namered.dat and pathway2/nameblue.dat with label 'M' for every value in the subset name1, each row[i] I need to assign to a seperate window so that I get a multiplot with a shared x-axis, and stacking my plots up the y-axis. I do have multiplot working and I know how to plot 'M' for each subset. The conceptual trouble has come in, how do I match 'name' variable of my subset 'name1' with the plot I want to do for pathway1/namered.dat and pathway2/nameblue.dat... the key feature that is the same is the 'name' variable, but in one instance I have to match the 'name'+'red.dat' and in the other the 'name'+'blue.dat' Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks! ~Elaina Hyde -- PhD Candidate Department of Physics and Astronomy Faculty of Science Macquarie University North Ryde, NSW 2109, Australia
