[Matplotlib-users] matshow / imshow with date-axis

Hi, is it possible to perform a surface plot a NxM matrix with date-axes? Similar to plot_date for 1D-Plots. The dates are available as an N-sized (or M-sized) array of float values. At the moment, I am using imshow or matshow for the color plots, but the only way I found to manipulate the axes

I once had a similar issue. I solved it like this. It takes the minimum and maximum of the data and returns a colormap: Zero: White, Positive values: blue, Negative values: red. def mxcmap(_min,_max): if _min = 0 and _max = 0: cdict = {'red': ((0.0, 1.0, 1.0),

Hi Matthias, Thanks for the help. The problem is, however, that the 'extent' parameter only manipulates the range of the (integer) values on the axis. Before setting the *axis_date property, I need to set the axes data to arrays of (non-equidistant) floats. Best Regards, Micha Matthias

As far as I can say, moving around artists from one axes to the other is NOT recommended. And I encourage you to create separate artists for each axes rather than try to reuse the existing ones. For your particular example, fig = mpl.figure() ax2 = fig.add_subplot(1,1,1) for c in

Hi Jae-Joon, Thanks for your quick reply! Since for example LineCollections can be created independent of the Axes in which they are going to be plotted through the creation of a LineCollection instance, would it not be possible to have a method that allows one to retrieve an Axes-independent
