<p>Thanks, I did not know what to ask for to Google. <br>
</p>
<p>I did not expect anyone to solve all my problems, and I was
reading the documentation, and playing with the tutorials. I was
reading the matrplotlib Users Guide. That was the documentation,
and I did not see anything about plotting time. So I must have
missed it. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://matplotlib.org/users/index.html">https://matplotlib.org/users/index.html</a><br>
</p>
<p>I never heard of Pandas or pythonspot. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
I am doing this for my Amateur Radio Club, I am the Communications
Director and maintain the repeater. So we are monitoring different
things so we can see what changes over time, and see if something
is about to fail. And when I said user I meant the person looking
at the graphs on a web page. <br>
<br>
And when I said I do not know what might work, it is because I do
not know enough to know what my options or trade-offs are or what
it will look like. <br>
<br>
When you are doing a year it makes sense to have a vertical line
every month. <br>
<br>
When you are doing a week it makes sense to have a vertical line
at midnight every day. <br>
<br>
When you are doing a day a line every hour seems like too much.
Maybe once every 3 hours maybe every 6 hours, or something else. <br>
<br>
Same with doing a month. How do you plot it so you know where you
are? A vertical line every midnight seems too often. Maybe every 7
days (7, 14, 21, 28)? Maybe every Sunday? I do not know what will
look good until I try a few different ways and see what is most
pleasing. And what is pleasing to me may not be good for you. I
have not seen any plots like this that make me say "that is what
it should look like". <br>
<br>
Thanks to you and Paul I have a direction to look, and the
terminology. That is all I really need. <br>
<br>
And take it easy on the new guy... <br>

<p>"The user"... - I read this as the evidence that you are doing
some work for somebody else. And yet, you demand that the<b>
matplotlib list solves <font color="#cc0000">ALL</font> your
problems??</b> <br>
</p>
<p>Perhaps, instead of "playing with tutorials" you read the
documentation, e.g.</p>
<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://matplotlib.org/gallery/text_labels_and_annotations/date.html"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://matplotlib.org/gallery/text_labels_and_annotations/date.html</a><br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://pythonspot.com/plot-time-with-matplotlib/"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://pythonspot.com/plot-time-with-matplotlib/</a></p>
<p>and some stackOverflow pages about months plotted with
Matplotlib.<br>
</p>
<p>There is PLENTY of information about plotting temporal data.
Such formulations as "I do not know what might work." is not a
way to ask for a professional help. Google (despite all...) is
still your friend. I found almost immediately about 20 relevant
pages, and I am sure you can do it yourself as well.</p>
<p>(And, of course, Pandas has a full section on this sort of
data)<br>
