[Matplotlib-users] need plot advise

From: Mag Gam <magawake@gm...> - 2010-01-08 13:29

I am new to matplot but I am liking it a lot. I am creating a webpage
with Django and I would like to plot a user's usage and average usage.
Therefore I am not sure what type of plot is the best type.

The data looks like this:

user: 13.4
average: 17.5


It would also be nice if I can create a bell curve (normal
distribution) and show where the user fits into the curve.

TIA

Mag,

Are you looking at time series or just a single value per user? 

Time series lends itself to a line plot. There are plenty of style options,
etc. to highlight each user and the average. 

If you're looking at a single value per user, a bar chart may be a good
choice:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/pyplot_api.html#matplotlib.pyplot.bar
You could then show the average using a horizontal line? 
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/pyplot_api.html#matplotlib.pyplot.axhline

It sounds like you've already worked out using MPL in Django. I found the
following links useful if not:
http://bitsofpy.blogspot.com/2009/07/matplotlib-in-django.html
http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/Django
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/howto_faq.html#matplotlib-with-django

I'm sure others have better ideas, just my 2c.
