[SciPy-User] milliseconds in matplotlib.dates?

Here is how it looks when I run your code till plot(times…)

and one with zoom:

I am not sure this could be related to the mpl version you have.

Alternatively, you might use just floating-point version of your time values

and with a little adjustment (Ryan mentioned this in the recently, and will

forward there for other suggestions) millisecond resolutions should be

visible when zoomed in furthest.

Something like:

sci_fmt = plt.FormatStrFormatter(“%.2f”)

plt.gca().xaxis.set_major_formatter(sci_fmt)

Here’s how I modified my code:

sci_fmt = FormatStrFormatter(“%.2f”)

fig = figure()

top_axes = subplot(211)

top_axes.xaxis.set_major_formatter(sci_fmt)

#plot_date(times,kurts,fmt=‘b-’)

#plot_date(times,kurt_sm,fmt=‘r-’,label=(“Hamming 1-sec FWHM”))

plot(times,kurts,‘b-’)

plot(times,kurt_sm,‘r-’,label=(“Hamming 1-sec FWHM”))

I then restarted ‘ipython -pylab’ because I’ve noticed that date

formatting problems seems to linger even after a code change. However,

I see no change in behaviour. I can get six 1-sec ticks across my

plot. If I expand the plot any more, the ticks disappear.
