[Matplotlib-users] visualisation for utility usage sought

[Chris W. <ch...@si...>]

Hi All,

I hope this isn't considered off topic here, but this has been bugging 
me for a while and I reckon you guys may be able to help. To boot, I'd 
like to use matplotlib to make it happen, so I figure this list is fair 
game ;-)

So, I have a series of measurements at points in time, eg:

2007/09/01 - 5000
2008/01/01 - 8000
2008/02/01 - 9000

...and I'm looking to create some type of visualisation that indicates 
usage over time.

The import point is that the gaps between point measurements are not 
constant, so a straight bar chart won't be right.

The points also won't necessarilly be as convenient as those above, but 
hopefully they'll work as an example: What I'd expect to see would 
indicate that the monthly usage between September 1st and January 1st 
was, on average, the same as that between January 1st and February 1st.

I'm having trouble expressing myself clearly, but hopefully I'm making 
some kind of sense.

Any ideas very greatfully recieved!

cheers,

Chris
