Dear List,
given a list of scores (n = 20, say) a group students received in an
exam, I can use
sarray = [list of scores]
score = student's score
scipy.stats.percentileofscore(sarray, score, kind='mean')
to calculate the percentile for a given student. What I would like to do
is to create a graph in which on the horizontal axis the student's
precentile (i.e. performance vis-a-vis her classmates) is indicated by
means of a needle stuck into the axis:
O (63%)
|__________________________|______________|
| |
0 100
I suspect that I cannot plot this with matplotlib, and my next best
guess would be Inkscape, with which I have no scripting experience
whatsoever.
Is Inkscape the way forward for this little project? What are my
alternatives?
Thanks for your ideas!
David
