still don't quite get this, so you want for each column the average? and you want to plot each of these averages? So a bar graph? with 8 bars?
Hi,
I apologize if my explanation was less than clear. What I have is data in a column that runs from row 1 to row 1268. In each each row there is a number. For example
1
3
5
6
7
8
9
so I want the y axis to run from 1 to 7 ( the number of rows) and the x axis to be the average of the values in this case 5.57. I am having problems with setting up the y-axis as well as the dimension problem you addressed.
Is there a way I could have every value on the x axis the same? Say for the above example have the x and y axis be
7
6
5
4
3
2
1
5.75 5.57 5.57 5.75 5.57 5.57 5.75
Which would be the number of rows vs the average value of the data in the rows and then plot that?
Thanks again

Hi,
Well the first bit about wanting a specific column and the last bit about not wanting to print all the data in and read it back, you get that from the example I gave you. If you paste what I wrote for you line by line it should become clearer for you, additionally it avoids you have to write your own parsing code.
As far as your plotting goes, unless you actually post what you are entering in the script (exactly as you have it), then it is impossible to say. For example
plt.plot()
plt.show
there is no way that is all you have? if it is, then of course you will get a fail as you are asking matplotlib to plot but are not providing it with any data to plot!
Perhaps I am being particularly dense but "What I now need to do is have the information in that column plotted as the number of rows vs. the mean value of all of the rows." means nothing to me. Sorry. What do you want on the X and Y... do you mean you want to plot your individual column (8 i think you called it) against the mean of all the other rows? If so I would expect you would have a dimensions issue
