nc_time_axis.NetCDFTimeDateLocator

class nc_time_axis.NetCDFTimeDateLocator(max_n_ticks, calendar, date_unit=None, min_n_ticks=3)

Determines tick locations when plotting cftime.datetime data.

Parameters

max_n_ticksint: The maximum number of ticks along the axis. This is passed internally to a matplotlib.ticker.MaxNLocator class.
calendarstr: The calendar type of the axis, e.g. "noleap". See the cftime.datetime documentation for a full list of valid calendar strings.
date_unitstr: The time units the numeric tick values represent. Note this will be deprecated in nc-time-axis version 1.5.
min_n_ticksint, default 3: The minimum number of ticks along the axis. Note this is currently not used.

Attributes

Methods

`__call__`()	Return the locations of the ticks.
`compute_resolution`(num1, num2, date1, date2)	Returns the resolution of the dates (hourly, minutely, yearly), and an approximate number of those units.
`nonsingular`(v0, v1)	Adjust a range as needed to avoid singularities.
`raise_if_exceeds`(locs)	Log at WARNING level if locs is longer than Locator.MAXTICKS.
`set_params`(**kwargs)	Do nothing, and raise a warning.
`tick_values`(vmin, vmax)	Return the values of the located ticks given vmin and vmax.
`view_limits`(vmin, vmax)	Select a scale for the range from vmin to vmax.
