Greetings. I've been having lots of luck with my date plots. But I've been having a problem getting the dateformatter to work. I'm using the code below. The dates keep getting formatted with the default, "Sep 28 2006" instead of what I want, "Sep 28"
Any thoughts? from datetime import date,timedelta from matplotlib.dates import MonthLocator, WeekdayLocator, DateFormatter,MONDAY,SATURDAY from pylab import * def dateplot(): dates = drange(date(2006,10,1),date(2006,12,1),timedelta(days=1)) vals = 500*(randn(len(dates))+2) figure(num=1, figsize=(6.5,4)) axes([.15,.3,.8,.5]) ax = gca() # get the current graphics region title(r"Average daily bandwidth") ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(DateFormatter('%b %d')) ax.yaxis.set_major_formatter(FormatStrFormatter('%3.0f KBps')) plot_date(dates, vals, 'bo') # Rotate the labels labels = ax.get_xticklabels() setp(labels,'rotation',90,fontsize=8) grid(True) savefig("x.pdf",format='pdf') if(__name__=='__main__'): dateplot() ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
