iregular data set

Thank you very much, you are a lifesaver. I took your advice and found
a working example on the internet
http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/Plotting_values_with_masked_arr
ays (saves an image as png when run)

Made some minor modifications and it worked perfectly.

Thank you very much.

You want to use matplotlib.numerix and use a masked array

I have a question (new user here): I have datasets of irregular time
spaced data and am having a problem with Matplot lib.

I am plotting two datasets: one is continuous time series data (simple
line chart) and the other irregular time series data.

The problem I have is: MatPlotLib is interpolating data for the
irregular data where there is no data.

So if I have data from 1985 - 1989 then no data for 1990 - 1994,
matplotlib is drawing a line connecting the missing data.

How does one plot irregular spaced time series data?

Thanks

p.s.: if this is the wrong forum, could you let me know where to post?
