"""

Matplotlib provides sophisticated date plotting capabilities, standing on the

shoulders of python :mod:`datetime` and the add-on module dateutil_.

By default, Matplotlib uses the units machinery described in

`~matplotlib.units` to convert `datetime.datetime`, and `numpy.datetime64`

objects when plotted on an x- or y-axis. The user does not

need to do anything for dates to be formatted, but dates often have strict

formatting needs, so this module provides many tick locators and formatters.

A basic example using `numpy.datetime64` is::

import numpy as np

times = np.arange(np.datetime64('2001-01-02'),

np.datetime64('2002-02-03'), np.timedelta64(75, 'm'))

y = np.random.randn(len(times))

fig, ax = plt.subplots()

ax.plot(times, y)

.. _date-format:

Matplotlib date format

----------------------

Matplotlib represents dates using floating point numbers specifying the number

of days since a default epoch of 1970-01-01 UTC; for example,

1970-01-01, 06:00 is the floating point number 0.25. The formatters and

locators require the use of `datetime.datetime` objects, so only dates between

year 0001 and 9999 can be represented. Microsecond precision

is achievable for (approximately) 70 years on either side of the epoch, and

20 microseconds for the rest of the allowable range of dates (year 0001 to

9999). The epoch can be changed at import time via `.dates.set_epoch` or

:rc:`date.epoch` to other dates if necessary; see

:doc:`/gallery/ticks/date_precision_and_epochs` for a discussion.

.. note::

Before Matplotlib 3.3, the epoch was 0000-12-31 which lost modern

microsecond precision and also made the default axis limit of 0 an invalid

datetime. In 3.3 the epoch was changed as above. To convert old

ordinal floats to the new epoch, users can do::

new_ordinal = old_ordinal + mdates.date2num(np.datetime64('0000-12-31'))

There are a number of helper functions to convert between :mod:`datetime`

objects and Matplotlib dates:

.. currentmodule:: matplotlib.dates

.. autosummary::

:nosignatures:

datestr2num

date2num

num2date

num2timedelta

drange

set_epoch

get_epoch

.. note::

Like Python's `datetime.datetime`, Matplotlib uses the Gregorian calendar

for all conversions between dates and floating point numbers. This practice

is not universal, and calendar differences can cause confusing

differences between what Python and Matplotlib give as the number of days

since 0001-01-01 and what other software and databases yield. For

example, the US Naval Observatory uses a calendar that switches

from Julian to Gregorian in October, 1582. Hence, using their

calculator, the number of days between 0001-01-01 and 2006-04-01 is

732403, whereas using the Gregorian calendar via the datetime

module we find::

In [1]: date(2006, 4, 1).toordinal() - date(1, 1, 1).toordinal()

Out[1]: 732401

All the Matplotlib date converters, locators and formatters are timezone aware.

If no explicit timezone is provided, :rc:`timezone` is assumed, provided as a

string. If you want to use a different timezone, pass the *tz* keyword

argument of `num2date` to any date tick locators or formatters you create. This

can be either a `datetime.tzinfo` instance or a string with the timezone name

that can be parsed by `~dateutil.tz.gettz`.

A wide range of specific and general purpose date tick locators and

formatters are provided in this module. See

:mod:`matplotlib.ticker` for general information on tick locators

and formatters. These are described below.

The dateutil_ module provides additional code to handle date ticking, making it

easy to place ticks on any kinds of dates. See examples below.

.. _dateutil: https://dateutil.readthedocs.io

.. _date-locators:

Date tick locators

------------------

Most of the date tick locators can locate single or multiple ticks. For example::

# import constants for the days of the week

from matplotlib.dates import MO, TU, WE, TH, FR, SA, SU

# tick on Mondays every week

loc = WeekdayLocator(byweekday=MO, tz=tz)

# tick on Mondays and Saturdays

loc = WeekdayLocator(byweekday=(MO, SA))

In addition, most of the constructors take an interval argument::

# tick on Mondays every second week

loc = WeekdayLocator(byweekday=MO, interval=2)

The rrule locator allows completely general date ticking::

# tick every 5th easter

rule = rrulewrapper(YEARLY, byeaster=1, interval=5)

loc = RRuleLocator(rule)

The available date tick locators are:

* `MicrosecondLocator`: Locate microseconds.

* `SecondLocator`: Locate seconds.

* `MinuteLocator`: Locate minutes.

* `HourLocator`: Locate hours.

* `DayLocator`: Locate specified days of the month.

* `WeekdayLocator`: Locate days of the week, e.g., MO, TU.

* `MonthLocator`: Locate months, e.g., 7 for July.

* `YearLocator`: Locate years that are multiples of base.

* `RRuleLocator`: Locate using a `rrulewrapper`.

`rrulewrapper` is a simple wrapper around dateutil_'s `dateutil.rrule`

which allow almost arbitrary date tick specifications.

See :doc:`rrule example </gallery/ticks/date_demo_rrule>`.

* `AutoDateLocator`: On autoscale, this class picks the best `DateLocator`

(e.g., `RRuleLocator`) to set the view limits and the tick locations. If

called with ``interval_multiples=True`` it will make ticks line up with

sensible multiples of the tick intervals. For example, if the interval is

4 hours, it will pick hours 0, 4, 8, etc. as ticks. This behaviour is not

guaranteed by default.

.. _date-formatters:

Date formatters

---------------

The available date formatters are:

* `AutoDateFormatter`: attempts to figure out the best format to use. This is

most useful when used with the `AutoDateLocator`.

* `ConciseDateFormatter`: also attempts to figure out the best format to use,

and to make the format as compact as possible while still having complete

date information. This is most useful when used with the `AutoDateLocator`.

* `DateFormatter`: use `~datetime.datetime.strftime` format strings.

class AutoDateFormatter(ticker.Formatter):

"""

A `.Formatter` which attempts to figure out the best format to use. This

is most useful when used with the `AutoDateLocator`.

`.AutoDateFormatter` has a ``.scale`` dictionary that maps tick scales (the

interval in days between one major tick) to format strings; this dictionary

defaults to ::

self.scaled = {

DAYS_PER_YEAR: rcParams['date.autoformatter.year'],

DAYS_PER_MONTH: rcParams['date.autoformatter.month'],

1: rcParams['date.autoformatter.day'],

1 / HOURS_PER_DAY: rcParams['date.autoformatter.hour'],

1 / MINUTES_PER_DAY: rcParams['date.autoformatter.minute'],

1 / SEC_PER_DAY: rcParams['date.autoformatter.second'],

1 / MUSECONDS_PER_DAY: rcParams['date.autoformatter.microsecond'],

}

The formatter uses the format string corresponding to the lowest key in

the dictionary that is greater or equal to the current scale. Dictionary

entries can be customized::

locator = AutoDateLocator()

formatter = AutoDateFormatter(locator)

formatter.scaled[1/(24*60)] = '%M:%S' # only show min and sec

Custom callables can also be used instead of format strings. The following

example shows how to use a custom format function to strip trailing zeros

from decimal seconds and adds the date to the first ticklabel::

def my_format_function(x, pos=None):

x = matplotlib.dates.num2date(x)

if pos == 0:

fmt = '%D %H:%M:%S.%f'

else:

fmt = '%H:%M:%S.%f'

label = x.strftime(fmt)

label = label.rstrip("0")

label = label.rstrip(".")

return label

formatter.scaled[1/(24*60)] = my_format_function

"""

# This can be improved by providing some user-level direction on

# how to choose the best format (precedence, etc.).

# Perhaps a 'struct' that has a field for each time-type where a

# zero would indicate "don't show" and a number would indicate

# "show" with some sort of priority. Same priorities could mean

# show all with the same priority.

# Or more simply, perhaps just a format string for each

# possibility...

Parameters

----------

locator : `.ticker.Locator`

Locator that this axis is using.

tz : str or `~datetime.tzinfo`, default: :rc:`timezone`

Ticks timezone. If a string, *tz* is passed to `dateutil.tz`.

defaultfmt : str

The default format to use if none of the values in ``self.scaled``

are greater than the unit returned by ``locator._get_unit()``.

usetex : bool, default: :rc:`text.usetex`

To enable/disable the use of TeX's math mode for rendering the

results of the formatter. If any entries in ``self.scaled`` are set

as functions, then it is up to the customized function to enable or

disable TeX's math mode itself.
