Hey folks,
I'm plotting a simple rainfall record and when I tell the DayLocator to make
sure to use 'US/Pacific' as it's time zone, it barfs on me. (US/Pacific is also
set in my matplotlibrc file). When I don't specify the time zone, it doesn't
barf, but the xticks are placed 8 hours off (presumably at the start of day
GMT, right?). Am I not specifying the datetime.tzinfo object correctly?
The code and the traceback are below. The trace back mentions some EOF in a
multi-line statement, but blames it on my fig.savefig(...) command.
Thanks for everything. This library is truly amazing. My mind is consistently
blown as to what the developers have created.
Here's some code:
import numpy as np
import datetime as dt
import matplotlib.pyplot as pl
import matplotlib.dates as md
TZ = dt.tzinfo('US/Pacific')
dmin = dt.datetime(2009,12,22,0,0)
dmax = dt.datetime(2010,1,31,0,0)
delta = dt.timedelta(5/(24*60.))
dr = md.drange(dmin, dmax, delta)
y1 = np.zeros(len(dr)) + 1
fig = pl.figure(figsize=(7,4))
ax = fig.add_axes([0.10,0.13,0.85,0.82])
#~ --- this is where the error happens -------
#~ leave it as is for the point to be off
#~ OR
#~ uncomment the next line to produce the error
days = md.DayLocator(interval=4)
# days = md.DayLocator(interval=4, tz=TZ)
# verify xtick locations
a = dt.datetime(2009,12,26,0,0,0)
b = 4.5
L1 = ax.plot(dr, y1, 'b-', lw=1, label='Hourly')
p1 = ax.plot(a,b,'g.', label='Point not @ start of day')
ax.legend(loc='upper right')
ax.xaxis.set_major_locator(days)
ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(md.DateFormatter('%m/%d'))
fig.savefig('storm.png')
