[SciPy-User] scikits.timeseries or matplotlib plotting problem?

[Dharhas Pothina]

I've had this problem before. From the email exchange I had on this
list about a year ago, I basically worked out that any symbols work fine
ie: dot,circle, diamond etc. When you use line types like '-' or '--'
and have missing or masked data  in the timeseries the plotting
functions don't know what to do and just fail. From what I undesrtand
this is a matplotlib issue and a work around is to compress the array to
remove the missing values before plotting. See:

I'm reading the docs right now - seems that I've reinvented the wheel
sometimes...
The good side is that I've started two weeks ago, so I didn't manage
to waste too much time.

After more testing it seems to me more like a bug in matplotlib.
It occurs only when plotting lines, using '-' or '--'. When I changed
marks to '.', it worked.

aspects.

I will be playing with this stuff for at least a year, so I probably
will :)

Anyway - great job!
