[Gnuplot-py-users] Date format?

[Uwe S. <uwe...@gm...>]

Hi folks,

forgive me as I am new to gnuplot-py, but how can I pass dates as x data to=
 the=20
gnuplot.data function? When I try something like ["2004-10-05",10] the
module barfs and tells me that a float value is required.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!=20

cheers, uwe=20

From within python:=20

>>> data=3D[["2005-01-01", 20], ["2005-01-20", 19]]
>>> d=3DGnuplot.Data(data, with=3D'linespoints', using=3D'1:2')
