Q:

matplotlib.pyplot, y scale is non linear for some strange reason

I'm trying to plot a simple list of values between 0 and 1, but i keep getting weird y scale. 0.49 is above 0.54 ??? Been stuck on this silly problem for 1 day now, tried every solution i could find but nothing helps. My latest attempt was to use the min max function, but i didn't help...plotted chart
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

y = np.load('C:\Scripts\\prediction_list.npy')
x = np.arange(len(y))

plt.plot(x, y)
plt.axis([min(x), max(x), min(y), max(y)])
plt.show()

print(y)
print(x)

A:

If you observe, the values of y are strings they are not float values.
That is the reason why you are getting unpredicted axis labels.
First, convert strings to float and then apply the plot.
y = [float(i) for i in y]
x = np.arange(len(y))

plt.plot(x,y)
plt.axis([min(x), max(x), min(y), max(y)])
plt.show()

Output:
