I'm trying to analyze my XML file, I would like to get data X Y Z for advanced analysis later and then plot all values.
Here the XML files looks like:

      <UserPosition>

      <X>-12.2934008394709</X>

      <Y>52.488259963403273</Y>

      <Z>-0.92276278637695341</Z>

      </UserPosition>

this is my code :

  from lxml import etree

  import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

  import numpy as np

  # Read xml files

  PostX = 

  PostY= 

  Thikness = 

  tree = etree.parse("XMLFILE.xml")

  for UserPosition in 

  tree.xpath("/cResult/measure/lMeasuredItem/cMeasureItem/UserPosition/X"):



  PostX.append(UserPosition.text)





  print PostX

I'm getting this ! :

['-12.2934008394709', '-9.1133008238197366', '-5.9329608027622784', '-2.7523007917339029',

Any help to get a proper values for analysis.

Is there any reason you cant change

PostX.append(UserPosition.text)

to

PostX.append(float(UserPosition.text))

Otherwise, it would be helpful to see how it is all your x, y and z values (or certainly more of them) are structured in this .xml file.
