[Matplotlib-users] data grid problem

[rand0m <ra...@0x...>]

Hello,

I'm new to matplotlib and I hope you can help me out with my question.
When drawing for example a Rectangle() I have to specify it like the
following:
rect = Rectangle((1, 3), 2, 20, facecolor="#aaaaaa")

Where 2 is the length and 20 is the height. (1,3) is for xy.

Imagine a coordination system where x-axis should represent the value 0
to 100. I would like to draw the rectangle from 50 to 60 on x-axis.  So
I would specify:

rect = Rectangle((50, 3), 10, 20, facecolor="#aaaaaa")

But this does not work as desired because at the xtick 50 the x-axis
does not "hold" the value 50 but 5 because I made xticks 1-100 with step
10. So my x-axis "holds" the values 1-10. But I need 1-100.

If anyone knows what Im missing I d be glad to hear about it :-).

thank you
