Hi:
Any suggestion for making a stair plot in Matplotlib (like the stairs
function in Matlab)?
The attached figure is the output of the following Matlab commands:
x = 0:10;
stairs(x);
I guess it is a matter of using a zero-order hold interpolation rather
than linear interpolation between the points in the plot command, but
I haven't find how to do that.
Alejandro.
You could use econpy's step_pts function:

fwiw,

Hi Alejandro,
no need for interpolation - just use plt.step:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x = np.arange(10)
plt.step(x,x)
you might also want to play with step's "where" parameter for
slightly different behavior of where the transition between the
steps occurs.
best,

Thanks! Just what I need it.
Any reason for the step function not appearing in the main Matplotlib
page (http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/)?
Alejandro.
