[Matplotlib-users] Plotting different years on the same axes

[Jose Gomez-D. <jgo...@gm...>]

Hi!
I searchd in the documentation, but couldn't find anything useful. I want to
be able to plot a couple of yearly time series (so that one can see the
difference between some variable in one particular year with respect to
another year). Additionally, I would also like to have a plot of the mean
(and stanard deviation) of several years, and to plot another time series on
those same axes. I was wondering if there is some better solution to the one
I found, which involves subtracting the 1st of January of the year in the
data and using the Julian date. I would like to use day/month markers on the
plot, but apart from referring all the plots to the same year (by adding or
subtracting a fixed value to each year), which is a bit mesy, I haven't been
able to do this. Is there something I can easily do to have my plot from
January to December showing two curves with dates from 01/Jan/2001 to
31/Dec/2001 and the other with dates running from 01/Jan/2004 to
31/Dec/2004?

Cheers!
