[Matplotlib-users] plot with nans

[Alan G I. <ai...@am...>]

Is the default handling of nan by plot the "right" one?
I am accustomed (from GAUSS) to missing values being
treated as "gaps".
E.g.,
    x=[nan,2,3,4,5]
    plot(x)
fails completely.  I expect the last 4 numbers to be 
plotted.
    x=[1,2,nan,4,5]
    plot(x)
plots a single line.  I expect two segments and a gap.

fwiw,
