[Gnuplot-py-users] Example for PlotItem is missing

[Andreas T. <ti...@rk...>]

Hello,

I just tried Gnuplot-py and regard it very valu to solce a certain job.

Unfortunately I have real trouble using PlotItem.  The documentation says:

   For the finest control over the output, you can create PlotItems
   yourself with additional keyword options, or derive new classes
   from PlotItem.

But as a Python beginner I seem to have trouble to understand the
syntax.  I started with a fairly simple example:


#!/usr/bin/python

import Gnuplot, Gnuplot.funcutils

X = []
Y = []
for x in range(32):
   X.append((x, 2*x ))
   Y.append((x, 3*x ))

g = Gnuplot.Gnuplot(debug=1)

g.plot(X, Y)
raw_input('Please press return to continue...\n')


Now I wanted to use PlotItem objects for X and Y to get finer control about
titles and style because the quite simple 2*x and 3*x will be replaced by
some more sophisticated database queries and further plots will be added.

But I do really not understand how to instantiate PlotItems and there
is no example available.

Could you please provide some simple examples?

Thanks for this fine software

          Andreas.
