我尝试以下列方式绘制它：
plt.figure(figsize=(17, 10))
plt.setp(plt.xticks()[1], rotation=45)
plt.plot_date(df_cut['date_obj'],df_cut['col1'], color='black', linestyle='-', markersize=3, linewidth=2)
plt.plot_date(df_cut['date_obj'],df_cut['col2'], color='red', linestyle='-', markersize=3)
plt.plot_date(df_cut['date_obj'],df_cut['col3'], color='green', linestyle='-', markersize=3)
plt.plot_date(df_cut['date_obj'],df_cut['col4'], color='blue', linestyle='-', markersize=3)
结果我收到一个错误：

奇怪的是，这段代码适用于某些数据框，有些则不适用。数据框的结构没有不同。它们之间的唯一区别仅在于它们包含的值。
有人可以帮我解决这个问题吗？
答案 0 :(得分：2)
Dataframe将日期存储为numpy.datetime64对象，而不是python datetime对象。
此外，matplotlib.plot_date使用自己的日期数字表示法。
您可以这样绘制数据：
plt.plot_date(matplotlib.dates.date2num(pandas.to_datetime(df_cut['date_obj'].values)),df_cut['col1'].values, color='black', linestyle='-', markersize=3, linewidth=2)
或者您可以将列'date_obj'定义为数据的索引：
df0 = pd.DataFrame.from_records(YourDataSource, columns=['date_obj','col1','col2','col3','col4'],index='date_obj')
然后简单地使用pandas的plot（）属性：
df0['col1'].plot()
