I have loaded data from a CSV file which i want to plot in a BarChart but i only wish to plot 0:100 instead of the entire dataset. Is there a way to set a range for the data?

So far i am just plotting everything:

data = Import["/Users/matek/NetworkTest/without_use_in_and_out.csv", "Table"]

Show[
    BarChart[data, ChartLegends -> {"TX", "RX"}],
    ImageSize -> 600
]

data:

{{1,2},{3,4},{5,6},...}

  • $\begingroup$ @TeakeNutma, my dataset is very big and it would be more suiteable if i could reduce it so the plotting is executed much faster. Else i need to manually manipulate the file, which is quite tedious. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Ok, assuming your dataset is of the form data = {{tx_1, ..., tx_n}, {rx_1, ...., rx_n}} with n > 100, you could do dataTrimmed = Take[#,100]& /@ data and plot that. $\endgroup$ Jul 6, 2013 at 13:58
  • $\begingroup$ @TeakeNutma, i get following error Take::take: Cannot take positions 1 through 100 in {0 0}. >> $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Looking at the sample data you provided, you might want to try: data[[1;;100]] (see Documentation Center for Span) (or see Transpose and then use @TeakeNutma's idea) $\endgroup$ Jul 6, 2013 at 14:20

OK, quick example: Compare the first BarChart with the second one where I only used the first 5 elements of data

data = {{1, 2}, {3, 4}, {5, 6}, {7, 8}, {9, 10}, {11, 12}, {13, 14}};
BarChart[data]
BarChart[data[[;;5]]]
