I have used spline interpolation to smooth a time series and would also like to add a horizontal line to the plot. But there seems to be an issue that is out of my grips. Any assistance would be really helpful. Here is what I have:
annual = np.arange(1,21,1)
l = np.array(value_list) # a list with 20 values
spl = UnivariateSpline(annual,l)
xs = np.linspace(1,21,200)
plt.plot(xs,spl(xs),'b')
plt.plot([0,len(xs)],[40,40],'r--',lw=2)
pylab.ylim([0,200])
plt.show()
problem seems to be with my use of [0,len(xs)] for horizontal line plotting.
