Date plots with missing data

Community matplotlib-users

Hello.

I have some data with corresponding date value (Y-M-D) and having
hard time to understand how MPL works with dates.
I see it uses Python datetime, but I just can't figure how to make
plots when some date data is missing.

Considering above, is there some easy way to make, lets say, 2
variables plot where each variable could have 1-2 missing values?
Does date (abscissa) values have to follow some rules so that MPL
could recognize it as date?

Cheers

Maybe this example will help?
