Re: [Matplotlib-users] Formatter dates

[Tim Å. <qw...@ho...>]

I just checked it up, and it had some nice function, the timeseries 
looked nice and maybe i can use it in some way (time_series looked 
interesting) . I dont want to go away from Linecollection way of 
plotting due to its speed or is the timeseries-way a fast way of 
plotting?

Tim, have you tried the scikits.timeseries package? Its plotting capacities, albeit limited, may be helpful in your case...

I have a set of values that are plotted over time (i use date2num, to get the conversion from date to num), i also have a list with dates that corresponds to these values;
