I am new to matplot but I am liking it a lot. I am creating a webpage
with Django and I would like to plot a user's usage and average usage.
Therefore I am not sure what type of plot is the best type.
The data looks like this:
user: 13.4
average: 17.5
It would also be nice if I can create a bell curve (normal
distribution) and show where the user fits into the curve.
TIA
Mag,
Are you looking at time series or just a single value per user?
Time series lends itself to a line plot. There are plenty of style options,
etc. to highlight each user and the average.
If you're looking at a single value per user, a bar chart may be a good
choice:

You could then show the average using a horizontal line?

It sounds like you've already worked out using MPL in Django. I found the
following links useful if not:
http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/Django
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/howto_faq.html#matplotlib-with-django
I'm sure others have better ideas, just my 2c.
