bokeh figure change x-axis to dates

Sandesh_KakadeJun 04, 2018 #1

I am playing with this example https://bokeh.pydata.org/en/latest/docs/gallery/brewer.html

r = [[1, 4, 5], [0,0,0], [0,0,0], [1,2,3]]
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame(data=r).add_prefix('y')

from bokeh.plotting import figure
p = figure(x_range=(0, 3), y_range=(0, 20))

And it plots data with x-axis values 0,1,2,3 How can I change x-axis values to dates in datetime or standard format? e.g. dates = [‘2018-06-01’, ‘2018-06-02’, ‘2018-06-03’, ‘2018-06-04’]

I see option to figure as x_axis_type="datetime" but not sure how to set x_range to dates. Also graph doesn’t plot properly if I willy nilly change x_range=(0, 3) e.g. to x_range=(3,6)

I passed date as x_range=(datetime.date(2018, 6, 1), datetime.date(2018, 6, 3) and it plots dates on x-axis as '6/01, 8h, 16h, 6/02…But graph is not plotting I think for some reason it's expecting x-range as0,1,2,3`?

Hi,

Your question is not very clear, and you have not included complete code. Offhand, it looks like you are not passing x values that are actual date times. On a date time axis, x=2 means "2 milliseconds after midnight January 1, 1970). You need to use real date time values for your x coordinates, e.g

https://bokeh.pydata.org/en/latest/docs/user_guide/plotting.html#datetime-axes

Thanks,

Bryan
