我有以下数据样本为x,y对,x和y都是Unix时间戳:

我希望将其绘制为散点图,但没有在x和y轴上显示的丑陋时间戳格式。 相反,我想在轴上绘制日期(格式为YYYY-MM-DD或任何其他可读格式),并显示3个月差异。

我有以下代码:

ax.set_xticklabels(getLabels(s,t),rotation=20)

其中getLabels(s,t)定义为:

def getLabels(s,t): #s and t are unix time stamps
    labels =[]
    for x in pd.date_range(start=s, end=t, freq='3M'):
        labels.append(str(x).replace(" 00:00:00",""))
    print labels
    return labels

并返回类似的内容:

['2012-06-30', '2012-09-30', '2012-12-31', '2013-03-31', '2013-06-30', '2013-09-30', '2013-12-31', '2014-03-31', '2014-06-30', '2014-09-30', '2014-12-31', '2015-03-31', '2015-06-30', '2015-09-30', '2015-12-31', '2016-03-31']
['2012-06-30', '2012-09-30', '2012-12-31', '2013-03-31', '2013-06-30', '2013-09-30', '2013-12-31', '2014-03-31', '2014-06-30', '2014-09-30', '2014-12-31', '2015-03-31', '2015-06-30', '2015-09-30', '2015-12-31', '2016-03-31']

现在,问题是x轴刻度标签没有像上一个日期数组那样完全显示,相反,它只显示前6个日期(从2012-09-30开始到2013-结束) 12-31)

有什么问题?

您的问题是您的图表只有五个刻度,因此它只能显示五个标签。如果要显示所有标签,则需要确保具有相同数量的刻度。

我没有安装pandas,无论如何,没有完整的数据,所以无法重新创建标签。我只是复制了你提供的标签列表。我还'反向设计'了min&标签的x轴最大值(以便数据在正确的位置绘制)。

这一行:ax.xaxis.set_ticks(np.arange(min_x, max_x, int((max_x-min_x)/len(labels)))) 确保您具有与标签相同的刻度数。

请注意,我还更改了标签的水平对齐方式,以便即使在压扁时,仍然可以清楚标签对应的标记。这片数据似乎绘制在正确的位置,所以我很确定标签位于正确的位置。

(显然y轴可以用同样的方式处理)

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import time
import datetime

labels =['2012-06-30', '2012-09-30', '2012-12-31', '2013-03-31',
         '2013-06-30', '2013-09-30', '2013-12-31', '2014-03-31',
         '2014-06-30', '2014-09-30', '2014-12-31', '2015-03-31',
         '2015-06-30', '2015-09-30', '2015-12-31', '2016-03-31']
x = []
y = []
with open('data.txt','r') as myfile:
    for line in myfile:
        _x, _y = line.strip().split(',')
        x.append(int(_x))
        y.append(int(_y))

min_x = int(time.mktime(datetime.datetime.strptime('2012-06-30','%Y-%m-%d').timetuple()))
max_x = int(time.mktime(datetime.datetime.strptime('2016-03-31','%Y-%m-%d').timetuple()))

print (datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(min(x)).strftime('%Y-%m-%d')) 
# Confirm that we are plotting in the right place for this sample

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(1,1,1)
ax.set_xlim(min_x, max_x)
ax.xaxis.set_ticks(np.arange(min_x, max_x, int((max_x-min_x)/len(labels))))
ax.set_xticklabels(labels, rotation=20, horizontalalignment = 'right')
ax.scatter(x,y)
plt.show()

x轴数据的限制仅从2012-12-05 06:12:062012-12-05 08:22:19。您必须扩展日期范围。

但是,您可以使用此代码每3个月设置一次x轴刻度:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from itertools import izip
import datetime
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

def grouped(iterable, n):
    return izip(*[iter(iterable)]*n)

def getLabels(s,t):
    labels =[]
    for x in pd.date_range(start=s, end=t, freq='3M'):
        labels.append(x.strftime("%Y-%m-%d"))
    print labels
    return labels

arr = [1354648326,1354648326,
1354649456,1371775551,
...
1354655889,1426675579,
1354656139,1420486774]

# convert timestamps to datetime objects
X = list()
Y = list()
for x, y in grouped(arr, 2):
    X.append(datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(x))
    Y.append(datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(y))

# range of X list is only one day: 2012-12-05
# you have to enlarge data of X
print np.min(X),np.max(X)

# sample data
data = np.random.uniform(-10, 10, size=len(X)*len(Y))

# plot
plt.scatter(X, Y, s = data)
ax = plt.gca()
# set limits for X-axis
ax.set_xlim([np.min(X),np.max(X)])
# generate labels
xlabels = getLabels(np.min(X),np.max(X))
# set ticks and labels
ax.set_xticks(xlabels)
ax.set_xticklabels(xlabels,rotation=20)

plt.show()

如果我扩展x轴限制,我会在你的数据上得到类似的东西:

...
# plot
plt.scatter(X, Y, s = data)
ax = plt.gca()
# set limits for X-axis
xmin = datetime.datetime(2012,1,1,0,0,0) # np.min(X)
xmax = xmin + datetime.timedelta(days = 360) # np.max(X)
ax.set_xlim([xmin, xmax])
# generate labels every 3 month
xlabels = getLabels(xmin, xmax)
# set ticks and labels
ax.set_xticks(xlabels)
ax.set_xticklabels(xlabels,rotation=20)
plt.show()
