Great ! That seems to work, thanks a lot.
One last question. Do I have to do this for ever script I write, or can I put
this into separate file and "include" it somehow ?
I am going to have several mainscripts.py, and all is going to import myModule
that will need access to this plots subroutine. It'll be great if I can put
this trick on a single file that is included by the main scripts, to avoid
violating DRY principle.
Thanks for all the help.
