#PANDAS PLOT SCATTER USE INDEX SERIES#
We will be formatting the date in our time series plot by using dates from matplotlib. # plot_time_series.pyįormatting dates in Time Series plots in Matplotlib using Python So, we can also change the alignment of the dates on x-axis of time series plot by using autofmt_xdate() on plt.gcf(). Sometimes, we are working with a lot of dates and showing them horizontally won’t be a good idea in that case. Plt.plot_date(dates, y, linestyle ='solid') If we want to create a line plot instead of the scatter plot, we will have to set linestyle=’solid’ in plt.plot_date(). This will create a simple scatter plot for the time series data.Ĭreating a line plot from time series data in Python Matplotlib Finally, we will be passing dates and values to plt.plot_date() method and call plt.show() to plot. We will be using seaborn style to create scatter plot of the time series data. So, let us create a python file called ‘plot_time_series.py’ and make necessary imports. We will be using Python’s built-in module called datetime(datetime, timedelta) for parsing the dates. If True, the y-axis will be interpreted as Matplotlib dates.Ĭreating a scatter plot from time series data in Python Matplotlibįirst of all, we will create a scatter plot of dates and values in Matplotlib using plt.plot_date(). If True, the x-axis will be interpreted as Matplotlib dates. For details, see the corresponding parameter in plot. If xdate or ydate is True, the respective values x or y are interpreted as Matplotlib dates. The parameters of _date() are shown in the table below:- # _date(x, y, fmt='o', tz=None, xdate=True, ydate=False, *, data=None, **kwargs)Īnd it returns a list of Line2D objects representing the plotted data.
We will use Pandas Dataframe to extract the time series data from a CSV file using pandas.read_csv(). In this tutorial we will learn to create a scatter plot of time series data in Python using _date(). Table of Contents Plot Time Series data in Python using Matplotlib
