Hi Ann, I'm not sure I understood correctly, but maybe it is useful to change the xlimits slightly, e.g. datetime(1998,4,20,0) instead of (the default value in this case) datetime(1998,4,20,1):
ax.set_xlim( date2num(datetime(1998,4,20,0)), ax.get_xlim()[1] ) > Also the minor tick marks do not look right, especially the ones just to > the right of each x-axis label. I cannot see these unexpected behaviour of the tick marks (as in your png) with current svn, but I'm not sure this is the reason.
