xticks on figure #23
Description
Describe the bug
There seems to be no way to render a chart using pyplot.plot, you have to use the figure which doesn't allow for xticks or set_xticks.
I'm running into a block to label the data with custom tick labels as a result of this.
Steps to reproduce
I've got user generated data from a function that just records input to a sqlite db.
data = cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM emotion_tracking ORDER BY datetime DESC limit 20").fetchall()
if data:
dates = [len(data) - data.index(row) for row in data]
print(dates)
states = [row[1] for row in data]
self.dates = np.array(dates)[::-1]
self.states = np.array(states)[::-1]
self.labels = self.dates
self.data = data
I've organised it so that the most recent will be displayed on the right hand side of the chart
The chart is built using this function.
def draw_chart(self, chart, figure, *args, **kwargs):
print("in draw chart")
# Draw the chart
ax = figure.add_subplot(1,1,1)
# ax.set_xticks(rotation = 90)
ax.plot(self.dates, self.states)
ax.set_xlabel('Date')
ax.set_ylabel('EQ Score')
ax.set_title('Daily Average Emotions Over Time')
This displays the chart:
When I change it to use dates, we get a big mess.
I'm wanting to a aggregate the data (a numpy function I'm sure) but more importantly and the point of the ticket, display the days in a readable way, ideally roation=vertical.
Expected behavior
I was hoping to use plotly.plot but this creates a new window.
using add_sublot doesn't allow for xticks or set_xticks on a subplot.
