| 1 | +Changed default `AutoDateLocator` kwarg ``interval_multiples`` to ``True`` |
| 2 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +The default value of the tick locator for dates, `.dates.AutoDateLocator` |
| 5 | +kwarg ``interval_multiples`` was set to ``False`` which leads to not-nice |
| 6 | +looking automatic ticks in many instances. The much nicer |
| 7 | +``interval_multiples=True`` is the new default. See below to get the |
| 8 | +old behavior back: |

| 10 | + .. plot:: |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | + import matplotlib.pyplot as plt |
| 13 | + import datetime |
| 14 | + import matplotlib.dates as mdates |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | + t0 = datetime.datetime(2009, 8, 20, 1, 10, 12) |
| 17 | + tf = datetime.datetime(2009, 8, 20, 1, 42, 11) |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | + fig, axs = plt.subplots(1, 2, constrained_layout=True) |
| 21 | + ax = axs[0] |
| 22 | + ax.axhspan(t0, tf, facecolor="blue", alpha=0.25) |
| 23 | + ax.set_ylim(t0 - datetime.timedelta(minutes=3), |
| 24 | + tf + datetime.timedelta(minutes=3)) |
| 25 | + ax.set_title('NEW DEFAULT') |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | + ax = axs[1] |
| 28 | + ax.axhspan(t0, tf, facecolor="blue", alpha=0.25) |
| 29 | + ax.set_ylim(t0 - datetime.timedelta(minutes=3), |
| 30 | + tf + datetime.timedelta(minutes=3)) |
| 31 | + # old behavior |
| 32 | + locator = mdates.AutoDateLocator(interval_multiples=False, ) |
| 33 | + ax.yaxis.set_major_locator(locator) |
| 34 | + ax.yaxis.set_major_formatter(mdates.AutoDateFormatter(locator)) |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | + ax.set_title('OLD') |
| 37 | + plt.show() |
