Hi,
I just emigrated from Ploticus last week 
Am working on a project where
I'm plotting the contents of a large .csv file with about 250,000 cells
(unix system 5-minute load averages from a set of 50 servers, for about
three weeks data now).
I'm developing this in Spyder/Python(x,y)--completely unknown to me until
last week--and the pan/zoom capability makes me wish/wonder two things:
1: I wish I could interactively save the zoomed view to disk, and
2: This behavior hints at the possiblity of a better way to go back
and plot 15 1-day views of the original plot, than slicing up the
source array and re-plotting.
I'm .. so new to matplotlib/numpy that I'm sure I'm missing some
key concepts/terminology that, once identified, will let me find my
way to what I need to know. For example, I'm terribly confused right
now by Axes.get_axes().
Which classes/methods/examples/gallery examples should I look at?
Thanks.
Once you have an axes object, you can call set_xlim() and set_ylim() on it to change the limits of the x- and y- axes respectively. You should be able to call that and savefig() iteratively to produce plots of different subsets of the same data.
Let me know if you need more details,
Mike
