Hello,
I want to plot a stepwise line using
plot([1,2,3,4,5],[2,-2,2,-2,2]). But what I get is something like two
triangular like shape. But I want a stepwise shape that has steep
vertical jumps. How can I do that?
Many thanks,
Zhang Le

this what you mean?
#!/usr/bin/env python
from pylab import *
plot([1,2,3,4,5],[2,-2,2,-2,2], linestyle='steps')
gca().set_ylim( (-3, 3))
show()
···
Many thanks,

It sounds like you want step_pts from
http://www.american.edu/econ/pytrix/pytrix.py
Maybe.

def step_pts(x, y):
'''Given x and y, return points for step function plot.
:Parameters:
- `x`: [x0,x1,...,xn] list of x values (first coordinate)
- `y`: [y0,y1,...,yn] list of y values (second coordinate)
:rtype: tuple of lists
:return: (xnew,ynew)
where xnew=(x0,x1,x1,...,xn,xn) and ynew=(y0,y0,y1,y1,...,yn).
