Hi all. I'm trying to use plot_date and I get an error I don't understand.
I've reduced my problem to this small example: ----------------------------------------------------------------- from pylab import figure, show dates = [301,302,303] #dates = [1,2,303] #dates = [1,2,3] values = [1,2,4] fig = figure() ax = fig.add_subplot(111) ax.plot_date(dates, values,'-') fig.autofmt_xdate() show() ----------------------------------------------------------------- This works. I get a plot with the values for the 301st, 302nd and 303rd day of year one. (I don't actually mind the year, all I know is my simulation starts the first of january of any year.) If I use dates = [1,2,303], it works as well. However, with dates = [1,2,3], it does not, and I get the error : OverflowError: date value out of range I don't understand. I may not be aware of everything concerning dates in python, but as far as I understand, those dates are correct and are the first three days of year one. Aren't they ? Since I don't mind the year, I guess I could add an arbitrary number of years to my dates as a workaround for this error.
