Hi,

The "matrix" option is currently not supported by Gnuplot.py.  If you 
want to add it, start from the example of the "binary" option to _FileItem.

It is of course possible to read the file into a Numeric array and then 
plot the array as a "Data()" PlotItem.

Hello

I would like to plot 3d graph from data in a file, but reading data in 
"matrix" mode.

Here is the code I use :

g = Gnuplot.Gnuplot()
plot_volt = Gnuplot.PlotItems._FileItem('data_file')
g.splot(plot_volt)


Unfortunately, it reads the file as 'binary', not 'matrix'. I did not 
find out how to pass the matrix option. Under gnuplot, it works with :

splot('data_file') matrix

is it possible to use it with gnuplot-py ?

Thanks a lot for your help.
Eric
