Hi, I've seen some examples with it, but I couldn't find any docs about it, Is there any? If not Where Can I get the source code for it to take a look? Another thing, what about this example: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/plotfile_demo.htmlWhere can I get the csv files used on it ?

Welcome! Not to be too blunt, but if you click on the "documentation" link on page you gave, you'd get a link here, which is the main documentation page: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/contents.html Also, you can take the page you gave and click on the "matplotlib home" link, you'd see you can get the source here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/matplotlib Ryan -- Ryan May Graduate Research Assistant School of Meteorology University of Oklahoma Sent from Norman, Oklahoma, United States
In the documentation page there's no info about .finance, even looking on the search tool I couldn't find anything: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/search.html?q=finance&check_keywords=yes&area=default About the code, I found it =) On Tue, May 19, 2009 at 4:05 PM, Ryan May <rm...@gm...> wrote: > On Tue, May 19, 2009 at 1:33 PM, David Anderson <zer...@gm...>wrote: > >> Hi, I've seen some examples with it, but I couldn't find any docs about >> it, Is there any?

But when I wrote it I wasn't in the financial industry and now I am so maybe my standards are higher :-) You can get help from matplotlib.finance -- we haven't uploaded all the module docs to the site documentation yet because there are some formatting issues with the docstrings nad we are doing them as we get to them. In the meantime, use the ipython shell import matplotlib.finance help matplotlib.finance Also, see the code examples http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/search.html?q=finance+codex JDH
Nice, and thanks, I'm making the charts just to my own purposes, and hopelly use it as my Graduation ending job (I don't know ow to say this in english, basically is the app that you deliver before getting the degree), and I wish to improve the api, by now this is the best api to plot financial charts in python, do you know any better? I Want to make something like the www.advfn.com, but leave to the user to add it's own studies. I am brazilian, and yahoo finances don't give historical quotes for my country, I'll have to adapt to get the quotes from a bunch of csv files. Can you suggest anything to me? =) Thanks!

I don't know a better package for plotting financial data -- mpl works just fine. It's just that the API for the matplotlib.finance module could be better. I would prefer something designed around record arrays with attrs 'date', 'open', 'high', 'low', 'close', 'volume'. Take a look at the examples I pointed you to - some of them make financial graphs w/o using the finance module. As for CSV files, take a look at matplotlib.mlab.csv2rec (see also the examples at) http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/search.html?q=codex+csv2rec JDH
