I need to plot some large csv files that contain financial data with
timestamps that have nanosecond precision.
Is there a way to make matplotlib show these timestamps as dates with
nanosecond precision?
If not, is there a way to plot my data by sending the timestamps, and then
set a formatter
Here are a couple of examples of using custom formats:
http://matplotlib.org/examples/api/date_index_formatter.html
http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/date_demo2.html
And here's a link with all of the possible formatting strings:
