IIUC, pylab is part of matplotlib. It provides a simplified, functional (not object-oriented) interface to matplotlib. Using matplotlib directly gives you more control over the result. > iii) can some kindly show me an example of ploting multy Y axes plot, ie NXY. Take a look at the gallery for something similar to what you want. Clicking on a gallery image will show you a larger image and the code that created it. http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/gallery.html Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
