x axis alignment with bar graph

bump. please…?

···

Begin forwarded message:

I have some code that produces a series of graphs of data over time. For the most part it works well, but for certain combinations of dates the two plots do not line up, due to the width of the bars in the first subplot. What is the best way for force my second subplot’s x axis to be identical to that of the first subplot?

Thanks!

Here is minimal code reproducing the problem:

import matplotlib

from datetime import *

import time

from pylab import *

def toOrd(strDate):

return datetime(*time.strptime(strDate,“%m/%d/%y”)[0:5]).toordinal()

def main():

startDate = toOrd(“05/24/05”)

endDate = toOrd(“11/21/06”)

dates = range(startDate,endDate,7)

figure(1)

axis = subplot(211,axisbelow=True)

plot_date(dates,dates,visible = False)

axis.bar(dates,dates, width=3.0)

axis = subplot(212,axisbelow=True)

plot_date(dates,dates) #,‘-’,color = priceColor)

show()

if name == ‘main’:

main()

Check the sharex kwarg. In the examples directory, see ganged_plots.py, shared_axis_demo.py, and any others that include the sharex kwarg.

Thanks Eric! Here is corrected code that works:

import matplotlib
from datetime import *
import time
from pylab import *

def toOrd(strDate):
  return datetime(*time.strptime(strDate,"%m/%d/%y")[0:5]).toordinal()

def main():
  
  startDate = toOrd("05/24/05")
  endDate = toOrd("11/21/06")
  
  dates = range(startDate,endDate,7)
  figure(1)
  
  ax1 = subplot(211,axisbelow=True)
  plot_date(dates,dates,visible = False)
  ax1.bar(dates,dates, width=3.0)
  
  ax2 = subplot(212,axisbelow=True, sharex=ax1)
  plot_date(dates,dates) #,'-',color = priceColor)
  
  show()

if __name__ == '__main__':
  main()
