Re: [Matplotlib-users] Translating ticks a la MultipleLocator ?

[Iyer <mas...@ya...>]

Wouldn't it make sense to simply change the xticks to
reflect the time instead of the number of data points
?

Like, if we needed to display 0 t0 1000 points over a
period of time, wouldn't it be nice to translate the
xticks to reflect the period of time ?

Would you suggest using IndexLocator in that sense ?
