Hi, You can try to manually adjust x-limits.
plt.xlim(dateList[0], dateList[-1]) However, manual adjustments will become a bit more difficult as your plot gets more complex. Well, I think the best way is to install a newer version of mpl on your ubuntu 8.10 if possible. -JJ On Thu, Jun 18, 2009 at 2:18 PM, Dave Coutts<dacou...@googlemail.com> wrote: > Hi All > > Just wondering if anybody could give me some pointers on the problem I have > described below ? > > For those that getting redirected to the freehostia main page for what ever > reason, please try this link. > http://waka.freehostia.com/python/ > > Thanks > >> Hi >> >> I am developing on a Desktop install Ubuntu 9.04 machine with matplotlib >> 0.98.5.2, >> and running the scripts on a Server install Ubuntu 8.10 machine with >> matplotlib 0.98.3. >> >> I have found that the X axis layout for the same script varies between the >> two machines. >> Both have standard matplotlib installs using apt-get.
