I'm graphing data from a web service, and seem to have stumbled upon a
bug when dates are graphed without any values.
Here's a minimum repro:
import datetime
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
x = []
st = datetime.datetime(2012,11,21)
while st < datetime.datetime(2012,11,21, 16, 00):
x.append(st)
st = st + datetime.timedelta(minutes=30)
y = [None] * len(x)
ax.plot(x,y)
fig.autofmt_xdate()
plt.show()
The stack trace I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):

in _from_ordinalf
dt = datetime.datetime.fromordinal(ix)
ValueError: ordinal must be >= 1
Adding a 0 & the current date stops getting the exception, but the
range seems wildly messed up. (2011 - 2014).
