Matplotlib：光标捕捉到与日期时间轴绘制的数据(Matplotlib: Cursor sna

我有具有在x轴上的日期时间objetcs 3数据集的曲线图。我想有捕捉到的数据，并示出了精确的x和y值的光标。

我已经有一个“捕捉光标”，但只适用于标X轴。谁能帮我修改捕捉到光标，它适用于日期时间X轴呢？

这里是我的数据图：

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plot
import matplotlib.ticker as mticker
import matplotlib.dates as dates
import datetime
import Helpers

fig = plot.figure(1)
DAU = (  2,  20,  25,  60, 190, 210,  18, 196, 212)
WAU = ( 50, 160, 412, 403, 308, 379, 345, 299, 258)
MAU = (760, 620, 487, 751, 612, 601, 546, 409, 457)

firstDay = datetime.datetime(2012,1,15)

#create an array with len(DAU) entries from given starting day
dayArray = [firstDay + datetime.timedelta(days = i) for i in xrange(len(DAU))]

line1 = plot.plot(dayArray, DAU, 'o-', color = '#336699')
line2 = plot.plot(dayArray, WAU, 'o-', color = '#993333')
line3 = plot.plot(dayArray, MAU, 'o-', color = '#89a54e')

ax = plot.subplot(111)
dateLocator   = mticker.MultipleLocator(2)
dateFormatter = dates.DateFormatter('%d.%m.%Y')
ax.xaxis.set_major_locator(dateLocator)
ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(dateFormatter)
fig.autofmt_xdate(rotation = 90, ha = 'center')

yMax = max(np.max(DAU), np.max(WAU), np.max(MAU))
yLimit = 100 - (yMax % 100) + yMax
plot.yticks(np.arange(0, yLimit + 1, 100))

plot.title('Active users', weight = 'bold')
plot.grid(True, axis = 'both')
plot.subplots_adjust(bottom = 0.2)
plot.subplots_adjust(right = 0.82)

legend = plot.legend((line1[0], line2[0], line3[0]),
                 ('DAU',
                 'WAU',
                 'MAU'),
                 'upper left',
                 bbox_to_anchor = [1, 1],
                 shadow = True)

frame = legend.get_frame()
frame.set_facecolor('0.80')
for t in legend.get_texts():
    t.set_fontsize('small')

#THIS DOES NOT WORK
cursor = Helpers.SnaptoCursor(ax, dayArray, DAU, 'euro daily')
plot.connect('motion_notify_event', cursor.mouse_move)

plot.show()

这是我的模块，它包含了“SnaptoCursor”类“助手”：（我从别的地方得到了基本SnaptoCursor类，并修改了它一点点）

        elif abs(mouseY - self.y[indx]) < abs(mouseY - self.z[indx]):
            mouseY = self.y[indx]
        else:
            mouseY = self.z[indx]

        #update the line positions
        self.lx.set_ydata(mouseY)
        self.ly.set_xdata(mouseX)

        self.txt.set_text(self.format(mouseX, mouseY))
        plot.draw()

当然，因为我有日期时间排列“dayArray”，这应该是比鼠标坐标以后调用SnaptoCursor这不起作用。而这些数据类型没有可比性。

我知道了！！！

的问题，其中在SnaptoCursor类的init方法以下两行：

self.lx = ax.axhline(color = 'k')  #the horiz line
self.ly = ax.axvline(color = 'k')  #the vert line

他们在某种程度上搞乱了日期时间x轴（即具有序号多达73万例），所以你只需要初始化线坐标：

self.lx = ax.axhline(y = min(y), color = 'k')  #the horiz line
self.ly = ax.axvline(x = min(x), color = 'k')  #the vert line

然后，它工作得很好！

我将现在公布我的完整SnaptoCursor类，我已经修改，因此接受个别格式化字符串，它可能需要长达3个输入数据图 - 即得到啪根据您的鼠标位置。
