Python graphing of time series


I have a project that will requiring graphing data (with Python). rrdtool seems to be almost exactly what I need- except it only supports 1 second resolution and my data points are much closer together.

GNUPlot looks like a beast. I've not dug into it yet, but in a cursory glance, it seems more tailored to graphing expressions and not something to be learned quickly.

Is there another (hopefully relatively easy to use) graphing system tailored or easily adaptable to graphing time series? If there is nothing better then GNUplot, I will start digging into it- I just wanted to be sure there is nothing else I should consider.


Solution

  • I've made use of PyX before. It's served my purposes well when I needed to graph various data.

    There's also matplotlib, which is a very popular Python plotting library.
