python中输入17=x会引起错误,使用matplotlib和datetime在Python中格式化日期：x轴错误-浮点数...

I try to plot a graph with a set of data. The y-axis is no problem, it's simple floats.

Problem is the x-axis: Its data is formatted by datetime to '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'. When trying to plot it occurs of course the error of no float possible... I tried quite many ways and it still wouldn't work...

So input so far are two arrays: x is ['2016-02-05 17:14:55', '2016-02-05 17:14:51', '2016-02-05 17:14:49', ...]. y is ['35.764299', '20.3008', '36.94704', ...]

解决方案

You could use the DateFormatter as follows:

import matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

from datetime import datetime

x_orig = ['2016-02-05 17:14:55', '2016-02-05 17:14:51', '2016-02-05 17:14:49']

x = [datetime.strptime(d, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') for d in x_orig]

y = ['35.764299', '20.3008', '36.94704']

xs = matplotlib.dates.date2num(x)

hfmt = matplotlib.dates.DateFormatter('%H:%M:%S')

fig = plt.figure()

ax = fig.add_subplot(1,1,1)

ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(hfmt)

plt.setp(ax.get_xticklabels(), rotation=15)

ax.plot(xs, y)

plt.show()

This would display the following:
