matplotlib:如何在开始和结束时不剪切NaN而绘制plot_date

我有值(np.array)我想用DateTimeIndex绘制索引(ax.plot_date)。两者都有相同的长度。

>>>index 
DatetimeIndex(['1997-12-30', '1997-12-31', '1998-01-01', '1998-01-02',
               '1998-01-05', '1998-01-06', '1998-01-07', '1998-01-08',
               '1998-01-09', '1998-01-12',
               ...
               '2015-12-29', '2015-12-30', '2015-12-31', '2016-01-01',
               '2016-01-04', '2016-01-05', '2016-01-06', '2016-01-07',
               '2016-01-08', '2016-01-11'],
              dtype='datetime64[ns]', length=4705, freq='B')

>>>values
array([        nan,         nan,         nan, ...,  1.40211106,
    1.46409254,  1.36151557])

现在ax.plot_date(index, values)工作正常,但它只会在开头(nan)的地方剪切线,而我想要有间隙。我不知道如何实现这一目标。

您需要手动设置xtick标签,这是一个示例,索引中只有4个项目,值中有2个值:

import pandas as pd
import pylab as plt
import numpy as np

#my made up data
index = pd.DatetimeIndex(['1997-12-30', '1997-12-31', '1998-01-01',
'1998-01-02'])
values = np.array([np.nan, np.nan, 1.402, 1.464]) 

#we are actually using this array as the x values in our graph, then replacing the labels with dates
x = np.arange(len(index))

#create plot
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.set_xlim([0,len(index)])

#create axes with dates along the x axis
ax.set(xticks=x, xticklabels = index)

#plot values with the corresponding dates
ax.plot_date(x, values)

#show plot
plt.show()
