Your example works as you describe on recent matplotlib versions. I suspect you are using an old one. The preferred way of handling missing points in numpy, and therefore in matplotlib and pylab, however, is via masked arrays.import pylabimport numpy as npfrom numpy import maa = [1,2,3,4,5]b = np.array([6,2,np.nan,1,9])bm = ma.masked_where(np.isnan(b), b)pylab.plot(a,bm)pylab.show()There are many other examples of masked array use in the examples directory of the matplotlib distribution.EricFernando Abilleira wrote:> Dear sourceforge community,> > I come from a Matlab environment so I am used to plotting matrices that > contain NaN elements.
