I've printed temperature values in one column in a file but want to graph temperature by row

Question

I want the x-axis to be what row the temperature value is in and the y-axis to be the actual value. How do I do this? I printed values to a file into one column.

Answer 1

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# get data
with open("data.txt") as myfile:
    temps = [float(row) for row in myfile]

# generate line numbers
num_rows = len(temps)
rownums = list(range(num_rows))   # starting at 0!

# plot
plt.plot(rownums, temps)
plt.show()

which gives
