E.g., 432,000 seconds then becomes 5 days.
Another way to do this is to change the Formatter which generates what the labels of each tick out to be to do this computation. Take a look at this example: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/api/date_index_formatter.html Just define something like: def your_function(x,pos=None): return "%d days" % (x/86400) ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(ticker.FuncFormatter(your_function)) best, -- Paul Ivanov 314 address only used for lists, off-list direct email at: http://pirsquared.org | GPG/PGP key id: 0x0F3E28F7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
