python - Matplotlib 不在图表上显示日期

Question

我开始学习 Matplotlib，安装了 pip，一切运行良好，我能够使用以下代码创建图表:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib as mpl
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

df_can = pd.read_excel(    
    'Canada.xlsx',
    sheet_name='Canada by Citizenship',
    skiprows=range(20),
    skip_footer=2)

def data_format(df_can):
    df_can.index.values
    df_can.index.tolist()
    df_can.drop(['AREA','REG','DEV','Type','Coverage'], axis=1, inplace=True)
    df_can.rename(columns={'OdName':'Country', 'AreaName':'Continent', 'RegName':'Region'}, inplace=True)
    df_can['Total'] = df_can.sum(axis=1)
    df_can.set_index('Country', inplace=True)

data_format(df_can)

df_can.columns = list(map(str, df_can.columns))
years = list(map(str, range(1980, 2014)))


df_can.sort_values(by='Total', ascending=False, axis=0, inplace=True)


df_top5 = df_can.head(5)

df_top5 = df_top5[years].transpose()

df_top5.plot(kind='area', figsize=(14, 8)) 

plt.title('Immigration Trend of Top 5 Countries')
plt.ylabel('Number of Immigrants')
plt.xlabel('Years')

plt.show()

但是，当情节显示时，我看不到我认为应该显示的日期，我正在尝试搜索但代码很好，所以这可能与可视化工具有关。

有什么想法吗？提前致谢。

问题似乎是您将数据转换为字符串

df_can.columns = list(map(str, df_can.columns))
years = list(map(str, range(1980, 2014)))

使您的图成为分类图。有多种方法可以事后标记您的绘图，但为什么不简单地保留您的数字数据呢？

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib as mpl
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

df_can = pd.read_excel(    
    'Canada.xlsx',
    sheet_name='Canada by Citizenship',
    skiprows=range(20),
    skip_footer=2)

def data_format(df_can):
    df_can.index.values
    df_can.index.tolist()
    df_can.drop(['AREA','REG','DEV','Type','Coverage'], axis=1, inplace=True)
    df_can.rename(columns={'OdName':'Country', 'AreaName':'Continent', 'RegName':'Region'}, inplace=True)
    df_can['Total'] = df_can.sum(axis=1)
    df_can.set_index('Country', inplace=True)

data_format(df_can)

df_can.sort_values(by='Total', ascending=False, axis=0, inplace=True)
#keep only columns with yearly data
df_top5 = df_can.head(5).drop(["Continent", "Region", "DevName", "Total"], axis = 1).transpose()

df_top5.plot(kind='area', figsize=(14, 8)) 

plt.title('Immigration Trend of Top 5 Countries')
plt.ylabel('Number of Immigrants')
plt.xlabel('Years')

plt.show()

输出:
