Re: [Matplotlib-users] Pdf plot

[Benjamin Trendelkamp-S. <tre...@ze...>]

Hi,

I'd recommend to load the binary data and store it as a numpy ndarray,

http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/arrays.ndarray.html

If your data is one-dimensional you can simply use matplotlib.pyplot.hist,

http://matplotlib.org/api/pyplot_api.html

to plot the histogram. The 'normed' keyword argument allows matplotlib
to normalize the histogram so that the plot will show the pdf.

In order to unpack the data-files you need to know the binary format.
Can you please provide more information about that.

Best,

Benjamin
