如何在时钟上绘制点

自Unix时代开始以来,我有几秒钟的时间。我想用24小时制作它们。到目前为止我的努力是

from __future__ import division
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
angles = 2*np.pi*np.random.randint(0,864000,100)/86400
ax = plt.subplot(111, polar=True)
ax.scatter(angles, np.ones(100)*1)
plt.show()

这给出了以下

Attempt to plot on a clock

但是,这并不是我想要的。

  • 如何将圆点放在圆周上而不是放在内部(或者至少将它们从中心向外移动)?
  • 如何将标签从角度更改为时间?
  • 如何摆脱0.2, 0.4, ...
  • 基本上,我怎样才能让它看起来更像是时钟上标记的点?

from __future__ import division
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
from numpy import pi

angles = 2*pi*np.random.randint(0,864000,100)/86400
ax = plt.subplot(111, polar=True)
ax.scatter(angles, np.ones(100)*1)

# suppress the radial labels
plt.setp(ax.get_yticklabels(), visible=False)

# set the circumference labels
ax.set_xticks(np.linspace(0, 2*pi, 24, endpoint=False))
ax.set_xticklabels(range(24))

# make the labels go clockwise
ax.set_theta_direction(-1)

# place 0 at the top
ax.set_theta_offset(pi/2.0)    

# plt.grid('off')

# put the points on the circumference
plt.ylim(0,1)

plt.show()

或者,为了更好地利用时钟的面,你可以用scatter图替换bar图(灵感来自this codegolf answer):

# ax.scatter(angles, np.ones(100)*1, marker='_', s=20)
ax.bar(angles, np.full(100, 0.9), width=0.1, bottom=0.0, color='r', linewidth=0)

enter image description here

或者,为了使条形看起来更像刻度线,您可以设置bottom=0.89

ax.bar(angles, np.full(100, 0.9), width=0.05, bottom=0.89, color='r', linewidth=0)
