Hi,

its a bit off topic here but I hope to get some links.  For my talk at
DebConf Online I want to analyse contributions on a monthly or weekly
base and plot graphs (either with gnuplot or R - whatever I can find an
easier solution with).  I can generate the data from a postgresql
database in whatever sensible input format is needed.  I failed to
seek successfully for examples for plotting integer numbers over months
or weeks of several years.

Any hints?

I've used matplotlib for these kinds of plots/graphs.

This[1] and this[2] might be of help.

Seaborn[3] might also be a helpful tool if you're looking for analysis which is focussed on statistics.

I hope that helps.

Kind Regards
