Plotting data against time needs this: - x data values has to be datetime objects (so you have to convert to that) - you have to use plot_data() instead of plot() - adjust X axes formatter and locato with date formatter and locator hope this reference will guide you trhu mpl documentation to have a working program; in the gallery in the website you can also find an example for date plotting.
