Plot Multiple List by concatenating to a string?

Hi again,

This is slightly similar to my previous post, however using lists, not
dictionaires.

So, I have a for loop that produces two list, as follows:

Hours = ['0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', '10', '11', '12',
'13', '14', '15', '16', '17', '18', '19', '20', '21', '22', '23']
and
Values = ['5.8', '5.76', '5.81', '5.72', '5.69', '5.88', '5.77', '5.64',
'6.78', '5.82', '6.74', '5.45', '5.61', '5.77', '10.02', '5.88', '5.77',
'5.64', '6.78', '5.82', '6.74', '5.45', '5.61']

So as you can see for each hour a value is given, now plotting this is
simple, its just plot(Hours, Values).

However, this is generated from a for loop and there could be anything from
1 to 1000 of the "Hours" and "Values" lists (The "Hours" list is always the
same), and I would like to plot all on the same axis.

Is there a way to build a "plot string", and then plot the string once the
for loop has finished. i.e

PlotString = ""
for item in AList:
      Hours = item[0]
      Values = item[1]
      PlotString += Hours, Values

plot(PlotString)

Now I know the above does not work, but it is purely to describe where I am
trying to go.

Thank you for all your help.

What gain are you looking for over your lists,
which seems an efficient approach?

You realize plot accepts 2d objects, right?
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/matplotlib.pyplot.html#-plot
So you can just make a list of lists for the dependent variables.

Hi Alan,

Thanks for the reply.

I have literally in the past few days started using matplotlib, and python
for about 3 weeks prior.

So I am not at all up-to-date with all its functionality.

In regards to 2D objects, I have no idea.

Thanks again

E.g., a list of lists.

list1 = [0,1,2]
list2 = [3,4,5]
listoflists = [ list1, list2 ]

So you can put all your independent variables into a list
of lists, and plot them at one go against your list of times.
(Assuming common lengths.)
