将多列数据放入一个数组中，python

Question

So I have a set of data which has a singular column for x data and multiple columns for y data, of the form.

x_title     y_title_1    y_title_2   y_title_3 ....   y_title_n
data_x1     data_y2      data_y3     data_y4          data_yn
....        ....         ....        ....      ....   ....

I am trying to graph the data, a different plot for each y_data_i, on the same graph.

I am using numpy arrays, matplotlib and scipy. And genfromtxt to read it in. I imagine the best way would be to put each column into an array, so there is an array for y_data_1,y_data_2 and so on. However I have no idea how to do this? I know how to read them in singularly, to a set data, so:

y_data_1=data[0:number_of_rows,1] 

However I don't know how to code a way to do it for hundreds of columns.

Answer 1

The basic plotting function would be:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x = data[0]
for y in data[1:]:
    plt.plot(x, y)
plt.show()

where data[0] is your first column, and data[1:] is everything except the first column.

See here for more options.

>>>import pandas as pd
>>>create a new series
>>>ser1 = pd.Series()
>>>col = [x for x in df.columns]
   df is values of csv data 
>>>for i in range(N):
   N is no of columns
   >>>ser1 = ser1.append(df[i])
