Hello, I'm trying to create a bar chart that looks something like a gannt chart...
See the simple example here: http://www.promana.net/making-use-of-gantt-charts/ I'm trying to utilize barh() and fmt_xdata to accomplish this with the following: #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ date1 = datetime.datetime( 2000, 3, 2) date2 = datetime.datetime( 2000, 3, 6) delta = datetime.timedelta(hours=6) dates = mdates.drange(date1, date2, delta) val = mdates.drange(date1,date2,delta) # the bar lengths pos = range(len(val)) # the bar centers on the y axis height=0.5 # the bar height left=mdates.drange(date1,date2,delta) # the bar starting position fig = plt.figure() ax = fig.add_subplot(111) ax.barh(pos,val,height=height,left=left,align='center',alpha=0.3) ax.fmt_xdata = mdates.DateFormatter('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Even with ax.fmt_xdata, I'm simply getting numbers on the x-axis instead of dates. Can anyone offer some pointers?
