No I just want to plot the third Shebitchev polynomial.

the vander functions give you the basis functions for a given x, or
use coefficients only for the polynomial you want, if I understand
correctly what you want

import numpy as np
from numpy import polynomial as poly
chebs = [poly.Chebyshev(coef) for coef in np.eye(5)]
for p in chebs: plt.plot(x, p(x))

...

[<matplotlib.lines.Line2D object at 0x046D9B50>]
[<matplotlib.lines.Line2D object at 0x046D9E70>]

plt.show()

or

plt.plot(poly.chebvander(x, 5))

I think that you're misusing Chebyshev (do you really only want to give "3"
as a coefficient..which is just the constant function 3), and you have to
evaluate it in order to give matplotlib some x and y data to plot.

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

x = np.linspace(-1.0,1.0)
test = np.polynomial.Chebyshev((1,2,3))
y = test(x)
plt.plot(x,y)
plt.show()

I'm trying to plot Chebyshev polynolmials using:
numpy.polynomial.Chebyshev:

import math
from numpy import *
from numpy import polynomial as pol
from pylab import *
from scipy import *
from scipy import optimize
import warnings
warnings.simplefilter('ignore', np.RankWarning)

test = pol.Chebyshev(3)
print test
plot (test)

show()

The print return: cheb([ 3.])
