I have data within a file that I need to plot. The data pretty much looks like this: 1.988479004e+002;1.498905197e-002

I have changed the text to: 1.988479004*10**+002;1.498905197*10**-002.

Do I need to change the *10** to something else for it to function with matplotlib? How could I plot this data?

  • It's not very clear what you're asking here. Python understands scientific notation. What should the plot look like in the end? Those are just two numbers. – cel Apr 05 '15 at 06:47
  • Can you show the *minimal* code that reproduces your problem and attempts making a plot, then specify what should be different? – Oliver W. Apr 05 '15 at 11:12
  • The data that you have, i.e. `1.988479004e+002;1.498905197e-002` is itself enough for Python to understand that it is `(198.8479004, 0.01498905197)`. So you should already be able to plot it without having to change anything – Srivatsan Apr 05 '15 at 14:56
