I am sorry if this has been covered in teh archives or is RTFM-sh but I looked in both places and am low on time. I want to use text as the value for the X-axis ticks not numbers. Something like 'Trial1', 'Trial2', 'Control' instead of 1,2,3. Is this even possible? It seems that this would be a VERY common need. I think that it must be obvious but I just can not figure it out. I fi just try to supply the text labels as a list the same place the normal xVals would be used (pl.plot(xVals,yVals)) it does not understand. Thanks.

Hey, Try this: plot([1,2,3]) locs, labels = xticks([0,1,2], ['Trial1', 'Trial2', 'Control']) Gökhan On Sat, May 30, 2009 at 8:05 PM, W.

Gökhan == "awesome" Thanks, I KNEW it had to pretty simple.

You are welcome Gus :) Go ahead and try these too.. I am assuming that you are experimenting in Ipython with --pylab. Use ? or ?? or browse and read for more information regarding to the usage of functions (http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/pyplot_api.html) I am sure gallery has some extra demonstration, too setp(labels, 'rotation', 'vertical') xticklabels = getp(gca(), 'xticklabels') setp(xticklabels, fontsize=14, weight='bold') Have fun :) Gökhan On Sat, May 30, 2009 at 8:17 PM, W.
