Hi,
I've got data in terms of day numbers, and wish to plot it as a 2D
scatter plot, with the color denoting the day.
I'd like the colorbar to be annotated in Apr 7 type format...
I've tried the following code without success.
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.dates import DateFormatter,DayLocator
from matplotlib import cm
data = np.arange(24.)+700000.
x = np.random.rand(24)
y = np.random.rand(24)
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
smap = ax.scatter(x,y,s=10,c=data,edgecolors='none',marker='o',cmap=cm.jet)
cb = fig.colorbar(smap,orientation='horizontal',shrink=0.7)
cax=cb.ax
cax.xaxis_date()
cax.xaxis.set_major_locator(DayLocator())
cax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(DateFormatter('%b %d'))
plt.show()
Any ideas on how to do this would be appreciated.
George Nurser.
