Dear all, I hope some of you could help me out. I am currently trying to generate some timetables using matplotlib.pyplot.plot_date, having the time-axis on the y-axis. Typically, one would like to read these plots from top to bottom, from older to newer items (future on the bottom). Unfortunately, the default enumeration of the y-axis is the other way around, and it resists my attempts to invert its direction e.g. by changing limits using matplotlib.pyplot.ylim (Traceback below). I found a quite old entry in stackoverflow which is most probably outdated, at least the proposed solution did not work for me... (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5804969/displaying-an-inverted-vertical-date-axis).
Since the longish traceback seems to try to tell me I did not understand some kind of important - even trivial - point about those datetime-axis maybe some of you came about this problem before? Thanks, Gerd P.S.: Traceback after trying to use something like "matplotlib.pyplot.ylim(ymax,ymin)": > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "C:\Users\gwellenr\Desktop\Test_Sabine\Plot_csv.py", line 187, > in <module> > matplotlib.pyplot.savefig(save_path+'test.png') > File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\pyplot.py", line 561, > in savefig > return fig.savefig(*args, **kwargs) > File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\figure.py", line > 1421, in savefig > self.canvas.print_figure(*args, **kwargs) > File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\backend_bases.py", > line 2220, in print_figure > **kwargs) > File > "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\backends\backend_agg.py", > line 505, in print_png > FigureCanvasAgg.draw(self) > File > "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\backends\backend_agg.py", > line 451, in draw > self.figure.draw(self.renderer) > File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\artist.py", line 55, > in draw_wrapper > draw(artist, renderer, *args, **kwargs) > File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\figure.py", line > 1034, in draw > func(*args) > File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\artist.py", line 55, > in draw_wrapper > draw(artist, renderer, *args, **kwargs) > File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\axes.py", line 2086, > in draw > a.draw(renderer) > File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\artist.py", line 55, > in draw_wrapper > draw(artist, renderer, *args, **kwargs) > File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\axis.py", line 1091, > in draw > ticks_to_draw = self._update_ticks(renderer) > File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\axis.py", line 945, > in _update_ticks > tick_tups = [t for t in self.iter_ticks()] > File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\axis.py", line 889, > in iter_ticks > majorLocs = self.major.locator() > File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\dates.py", line 802, > in __call__ > self.refresh() > File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\dates.py", line 820, > in refresh > self._locator = self.get_locator(dmin, dmax) > File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\dates.py", line 896, > in get_locator > raise ValueError('No sensible date limit could be found in the ' > ValueError: No sensible date limit could be found in the AutoDateLocator. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want excitement?
