Python 使用matplotlib打印numpy datetime64

我有两个numpy数组1D，一个是datetime64格式的测量时间，例如：

array([2011-11-15 01:08:11, 2011-11-16 02:08:04, ..., 2012-07-07 11:08:00], dtype=datetime64[us])

和其他长度和维度相同且数据为整数的数组。
我想在matplotlib中绘制时间与数据的关系图。如果我直接输入数据，我得到的是：

plot(timeSeries, data)

有没有办法用更自然的单位来计算时间？例如，在这种情况下，月/年就可以了。

我尝试过古斯塔夫·拉尔森的建议，但我得到了一个错误：

OverflowError: signed integer is greater than maximum

我仍然得到这个错误：

OverflowError: signed integer is greater than maximum

我不明白我做错了什么。ipython 0.13，matplotlib 1.1，Ubuntu 12.04 x64。

最终编辑：

---

matplotlib似乎不支持

dtype=datetime64

，因此我需要将

timeSeries

转换为普通的

datetime.datetime

，从

datetime

您可以尝试以下方法：

plot_date(timeSeries, data)

---

默认情况下，x轴将被视为日期轴，y轴将被视为常规轴。这可以自定义。

Matplotlib>=2.2本机支持打印datetime64数组。见：

from datetime import datetime
a=np.datetime64('2002-06-28').astype(datetime)
plot_date(a,2)

Matplotlib在中长期支持datetime.datetime日期 matplotlib.dates。我们现在也支持numpy.datetime64日期。 任何可以使用dateime.datetime的地方，都可以使用numpy.datetime64 用过。例如：

time = np.arange('2005-02-01', '2005-02-02', dtype='datetime64[h]')
plt.plot(time)

---

我也有类似的问题。有时，日期轴正确地绘制了我的np.datetim64数组，有时它不使用同一时间数组，而是在日期轴上给出一些无法识别的整数值

---

原因是我在第一次使用对数音阶后设置了ax.xscale（“线性”）。删除ax.xscale（“线性”）解决了问题。我了解到，线性轴不是日期时间轴。

你的建议应该可以，但我有一个错误，我不明白，我编辑了这个问题。@enedene：当你在问题中提到它对你不起作用时，为什么要接受这个答案？@bmu从datetime64数据类型转换后，它确实起作用。@enedene：当然，但据我所知，绘图日期对datetime64一无所知（你在问题中也提到了这一点）。所以我认为你应该回答你的问题并接受它。我认为接受这个答案是误导性的。-1因为我不认为，

plot\u date

直接支持numpy datetime64数组（到目前为止）。由于matplotlib不支持datetime64，我认为最好直接创建一个带有dtype

object

的python datetimes数组。您是如何做到这一点的？即使在我完成转换之后，我仍然会得到溢出。这是正确的，但有误导性-这被解释为

。astype（object）

time = np.arange('2005-02-01', '2005-02-02', dtype='datetime64[h]')
plt.plot(time)
