Hi David,

Please post questions to the mailing list, if you can clarify what
issues you are having (with a stand alone example) then I'm sure
you'll get help.

I guess you can specify the labels directly using something like:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.dates import date2num

# dates is a sequence of datetime.datetime objects
# x is as per boxplot docstring

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.boxplot(x, positions=date2num(dates))

xlabels = []
for dt in dates:
    xlabels.append(dt.strftime('%Y/%m/%d/%H:00'))

ax.xaxis.set_ticklabels(xlabels)

If you want to use date formatters it looks like you might need to add
a second axis using twinx. Perhaps there is a better way?

Cheers,
Scott
