Perfect. This works.
import random
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
N = 10
x_vals = range(N)
bit_vals = [-1, 1]
my_bits = []
for x in xrange(N):
my_bits.append(bit_vals[random.randint(0, 1)])
print my_bits
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_axes([0.1, 0.1, 0.8, 0.8])
ax.set_ylim(ymin=-2, ymax=2)
ax.step(x_vals, my_bits, color=‘g’)
ax.grid()
ax.set_yticks((-1, 1))
plt.show()

You can use the "step" function, which does exactly this and has arguments for setting where the step is made, etc. Regards, Sebastian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA The must-attend event for mobile developers.
