针对日期时间的错误栏图失败

Question

当 x 轴为 datetime:

时，误差线绘图并不总是有效

z = pd.DataFrame({'timestamp': {0: pd.Timestamp('2018-06-16 04:33:27'),
  1: pd.Timestamp('2018-06-16 18:07:40')},
 'average': {0: 1.4158309812874796, 1: 1.4293226152856995},
 'stdev': {0: 0.5721450460404708, 1: 0.5771658975429514}})

现在z是

            timestamp   average     stdev
0 2018-06-16 04:33:27  1.415831  0.572145
1 2018-06-16 18:07:40  1.429323  0.577166

plt.plot(z.timestamp, z.average) 按预期工作，但是 plt.errorbar(z.timestamp, z.average, yerr=z.stdev) 产生

   1027         return num2date(vmin, self.tz), num2date(vmax, self.tz)
   1028 

ValueError: view limit minimum -7.64586229992263e+16 is less than 1 and is an invalid Matplotlib date value. This often happens if you pass a non-datetime value to an axis that has datetime units

我做错了什么？

PS。其他值似乎有效。例如，

plt.errorbar(np.array([datetime.datetime(2018,7,30,12),
            datetime.datetime(2018,7,30,15)]).astype("datetime64[h]"),
         np.array([2,3]),
         yerr=np.array([1,2]))

按预期工作。

matplotlib 本身可以绘制 numpy 数组。您可能希望提供通过 .values.

获得的底层 numpy 数组，而不是向绘图函数提供 pandas Series

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

df = pd.DataFrame({'timestamp': {0: pd.Timestamp('2018-06-16 04:33:27'),
                                1: pd.Timestamp('2018-06-16 18:07:40')},
                  'average': {0: 1.4158309812874796, 1: 1.4293226152856995},
                  'stdev': {0: 0.5721450460404708, 1: 0.5771658975429514}})

plt.errorbar(df.timestamp.values, df.average.values, yerr=df.stdev.values)

plt.show()

errorbar plot against datetime fails

python

datetime

matplotlib

errorbar
