plot_date
(x, y, fmt='bo', tz=None, xdate=True, ydate=False, **kwargs)¶ Plot with data with dates.
Call signature:
plot_date(x, y, fmt='bo', tz=None, xdate=True, ydate=False, **kwargs)
Similar to the
plot()
command, except the x or y (or both) data is considered to be dates, and the axis is labeled accordingly.x and/or y can be a sequence of dates represented as float days since 0001-01-01 UTC.
Keyword arguments:
- fmt: string
- The plot format string.
- tz: [ None | timezone string |
tzinfo
instance] - The time zone to use in labeling dates. If None, defaults to rc value.
- xdate: [ True | False ]
- If True, the x-axis will be labeled with dates.
- ydate: [ False | True ]
- If True, the y-axis will be labeled with dates.
Note if you are using custom date tickers and formatters, it may be necessary to set the formatters/locators after the call to
plot_date()
sinceplot_date()
will set the default tick locator tomatplotlib.dates.AutoDateLocator
(if the tick locator is not already set to amatplotlib.dates.DateLocator
instance) and the default tick formatter tomatplotlib.dates.AutoDateFormatter
(if the tick formatter is not already set to amatplotlib.dates.DateFormatter
instance).Valid kwargs are
