This is a general issue to track progress in enabling the plotting oftimedelta objects. The eventual aim is for code like this to work:

importmatplotlib.pyplotaspltfromdatetimeimporttimedeltax= [1,2]y= [timedelta(seconds=1),timedelta(seconds=2)]fig,ax=plt.subplots()ax.scatter(x,y)plt.show()

TODO

• Method to converttimedelta to Matplotlib's internal time/date representation (float number of days) -Allow timedelta to be converted to an ordinalf #9120
• Method to convert Matplotlib's internal time/date representation back totimedelta -Add num2timedelta method with test #8870
• Implement aTimedeltaFormatter -timedelta formatter #8930
• Implement aTimedeltaLocator (possibly along withtimedelta versions ofSecondLocator,MinuteLocator etc.)
• Implement anAutoTimedeltaLocator
• Implement aTimedeltaConverter to go in the units registry
