now =datetime.datetime.now()

ax = gca()
grid(True)#显示网格
ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(mdate.DateFormatter('%y-%m-%d'))#设置时间标签显示格式
t = arange(0.0, 120.0, 1)
s = sin(0.1*pi*t)*exp(-t*0.01)


dates = [now + datetime.timedelta(i) for i in range(120)]#
dates.sort()
datestr =[]


for i in range(0,12):
    datestr.append(dates[0]+i*days)
plt.xticks(datestr)#设置日期标签


plot(dates,s,'--r*')#画图，虚线--,红色r,数据点为星号*
xlabels = ax.get_xticklabels()
for xl in xlabels:
    xl.set_rotation(15) #把x轴上的label旋转15度,以免太密集时有重叠

show()
