我希望能够为从熊猫时间序列对象绘制的时间序列图设置主要和次要xticks及其标签。
熊猫0.9“新增功能”页面显示:
“您可以使用to_pydatetime或为Timestamp类型注册一个转换器”
但是我不知道该怎么做,以便可以使用matplotlibax.xaxis.set_major_locator
和ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter
(和次要)命令。
如果我使用它们而没有转换熊猫时间,则x轴刻度和标签最终会出错。
通过使用“ xticks”参数,我可以将主要刻度线传递到pandas.plot,然后设置主要刻度线标签。我不知道如何使用这种方法做较小的滴答声。(我可以在pandas.plot设置的默认次要刻度上设置标签)
这是我的测试代码:
import pandas
print 'pandas.__version__ is ', pandas.__version__
print 'matplotlib.__version__ is ', matplotlib.__version__
dStart = datetime.datetime(2011,5,1) # 1 May
dEnd = datetime.datetime(2011,7,1) # 1 July
dateIndex = pandas.date_range(start=dStart, end=dEnd, freq='D')
print "1 May to 1 July 2011", dateIndex
testSeries = pandas.Series(data=np.random.randn(len(dateIndex)),
index=dateIndex)
ax = plt.figure(figsize=(7,4), dpi=300).add_subplot(111)
testSeries.plot(ax=ax, style='v-', label='first line')
# using MatPlotLib date time locators and formatters doesn't work with new
# pandas datetime index
ax.xaxis.set_minor_locator(matplotlib.dates.WeekdayLocator(byweekday=(1),
interval=1))
ax.xaxis.set_minor_formatter(matplotlib.dates.DateFormatter('%d\n%a'))
ax.xaxis.grid(True, which="minor")
ax.xaxis.grid(False, which="major")
ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(matplotlib.dates.DateFormatter('\n\n\n%b%Y'))
plt.show()
# set the major xticks and labels through pandas
ax2 = plt.figure(figsize=(7,4), dpi=300).add_subplot(111)
xticks = pandas.date_range(start=dStart, end=dEnd, freq='W-Tue')
print "xticks: ", xticks
testSeries.plot(ax=ax2, style='-v', label='second line',
xticks=xticks.to_pydatetime())
ax2.set_xticklabels([x.strftime('%a\n%d\n%h\n%Y') for x in xticks]);
# set the text of the first few minor ticks created by pandas.plot
# ax2.set_xticklabels(['a','b','c','d','e'], minor=True)
# remove the minor xtick labels set by pandas.plot
ax2.set_xticklabels([], minor=True)
# turn the minor ticks created by pandas.plot off
# plt.minorticks_off()
plt.show()
print testSeries['6/4/2011':'6/7/2011']
及其输出:
pandas.__version__ is 0.9.1.dev-3de54ae
matplotlib.__version__ is 1.1.1
1 May to 1 July 2011 <class 'pandas.tseries.index.DatetimeIndex'>

Freq: D
更新:通过使用循环来构建主要的xtick标签,我已经能够更接近所需的布局:
# only show month for first label in month
month = dStart.month - 1
xticklabels = []
for x in xticks:
if month != x.month :
xticklabels.append(x.strftime('%d\n%a\n%h'))
month = x.month
else:
xticklabels.append(x.strftime('%d\n%a'))
但是,这有点像使用ax.annotate
:可能但不理想的x轴。
