Thanks Eric! Here is corrected code that works: import matplotlib from datetime import * import time from pylab import *
def toOrd(strDate): return datetime(*time.strptime(strDate,"%m/%d/%y")[0:5]).toordinal() def main(): startDate = toOrd("05/24/05") endDate = toOrd("11/21/06") dates = range(startDate,endDate,7) figure(1) ax1 = subplot(211,axisbelow=True) plot_date(dates,dates,visible = False) ax1.bar(dates,dates, width=3.0) ax2 = subplot(212,axisbelow=True, sharex=ax1) plot_date(dates,dates) #,'-',color = priceColor) show() if __name__ == '__main__': main() On Jan 16, 2008, at 1:02 PM, Eric Firing wrote: > John Harrison wrote: >> bump. please...? >> Begin forwarded message: >>> >>> I have some code that produces a series of graphs of data over >>> time.
