[Matplotlib-users] plot_date + xdata & ydata must be same len

[Brinley, C. <Chr...@or...>]

Hi,

I am having trouble getting a variation of the tutorial plot_date() to
work. I get the classic: RuntimeError: xdata and ydata must be the same
length.

The tutorial on the matplotlib site shows how to plot dates using whole
days. I am plotting using multiple days showing each minute of the day.=20

Before I run plot_date I setup to datetime vars and subtract them to get
the timedelta so.. timedelta =3D enddate - startdate.

I then use drange(startdate, enddate, timedelta)

I pass this range into the plot_date function with my y axis data, which
I have confirmed is numeric and the same number of entries as the number
of datetimes I want to plot.

Clearly I am incorrectly telling plotlib the intervals of time I want to
plot. What is the best way to plot out an interday chart that has ticks
for each min?
