Re: [Matplotlib-users] Multiple XY plots

[ChaoYue <cha...@gm...>]

Hi,

could you use a loop to solve it?

arr1list = [np.arange(10) + i for i in range(10)]
arr2list = [np.arange(10) -i for i in range(10)]

for arr1,arr2 in zip(arr1list,arr2list):
    plot(arr1,arr2)

you can use a more object oriented way:

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot()
for arr1,arr2 in zip(arr1list,arr2list):
    ax.plot(arr1,arr2)

code not tested.

cheers,

Chao
