Re: [Matplotlib-users] Plotting from a data file

[Kevin P. <kp...@me...>]

That does help. But then that means I need to reformat my data somehow? I want it so that each “voice” is plotted separately as a unique color and my legend would be 

Voice 1 -----
Voice 2 -----
Voice 3 -----
Voice 4 -----

Just as if I had the temperature for four different days plotted.

confused

Just say "fname = 'foobar.csv'" and have your own csv file called "foobar.csv" sitting in your current working directory. "plotfile()" works by reading in a CSV file and plotting the columns given. So, the CSV file will need in its first line those column headers. The first one given will be for the x-axis, while the rest are for the individual lines.
