Dear all,
I hope some of you could help me out. I am currently trying to generate some timetables using matplotlib.pyplot.plot_date, having the time-axis on the y-axis. Typically, one would like to read these plots from top to bottom, from older to newer items (future on the bottom). Unfortunately, the default enumeration of the y-axis is the other way around, and it resists my attempts to invert its direction e.g. by changing limits using matplotlib.pyplot.ylim (Traceback below). I found a quite old entry in stackoverflow which is most probably outdated, at least the proposed solution did not work for me... (python - Displaying an inverted vertical date axis - Stack Overflow).
Since the longish traceback seems to try to tell me I did not understand some kind of important - even trivial - point about those datetime-axis maybe some of you came about this problem before?
Thanks, Gerd
P.S.: Traceback after trying to use something like "matplotlib.pyplot.ylim(ymax,ymin)":
