[Gnuplot-py-users] newbie w/ stockcharts with time in x

[Charles G. <cha...@un...>]

I had a gnoplot script I am trying to convert into python using
gnuplot-py. I have a list of historical prices like this:

2010-11-24,19.33,19.55,19.32,19.46,63880400,19.2

My basic gnuplot call were:

set grid nopolar
set grid xtics nomxtics ytics nomytics noztics nomztics nox2tics
nomx2tics noy2tics nomy2tics nocbtics nomcbtics
set grid layerdefault   linetype 0 linewidth 1.000,  linetype 0 linewidth 1.000

# Chart Title
set title "CSCO 1yr"

set xdata time
set timefmt "%Y-%m-%d"
set format x "%m/%y"

set lmargin  9
set rmargin  2
set datafile separator ","

plot 'data/CSCO_365.csv' using 1:2:3:4:5 notitle with financebars lt 8

Instead of doing it through a csv, I was trying to plot from the list
directly. So I took out the datafile seperator but I am having a hard
time porting that to python. Most of my options were just set with a

g('set lmargin 9')

line. But I'm not sure how to handle my plot statement. I can pass my
list to g.plot() but it lacks all the other definitions. What am I
missing?
