"""
Matplotlib provides sophisticated date plotting capabilities, standing on the
shoulders of python :mod:`datetime` and the add-on module dateutil_.

By default, Matplotlib uses the units machinery described in
`~matplotlib.units` to convert `datetime.datetime`, and `numpy.datetime64`
objects when plotted on an x- or y-axis. The user does not
need to do anything for dates to be formatted, but dates often have strict
formatting needs, so this module provides many tick locators and formatters.
A basic example using `numpy.datetime64` is::

    import numpy as np

    times = np.arange(np.datetime64('2001-01-02'),
                      np.datetime64('2002-02-03'), np.timedelta64(75, 'm'))
    y = np.random.randn(len(times))

    fig, ax = plt.subplots()
    ax.plot(times, y)

.. _date-format:

Matplotlib date format
----------------------

Matplotlib represents dates using floating point numbers specifying the number
of days since a default epoch of 1970-01-01 UTC; for example,
1970-01-01, 06:00 is the floating point number 0.25. The formatters and
locators require the use of `datetime.datetime` objects, so only dates between
year 0001 and 9999 can be represented.  Microsecond precision
is achievable for (approximately) 70 years on either side of the epoch, and
20 microseconds for the rest of the allowable range of dates (year 0001 to
9999). The epoch can be changed at import time via `.dates.set_epoch` or
:rc:`date.epoch` to other dates if necessary; see
:doc:`/gallery/ticks/date_precision_and_epochs` for a discussion.

.. note::

   Before Matplotlib 3.3, the epoch was 0000-12-31 which lost modern
   microsecond precision and also made the default axis limit of 0 an invalid
   datetime.  In 3.3 the epoch was changed as above.  To convert old
   ordinal floats to the new epoch, users can do::

     new_ordinal = old_ordinal + mdates.date2num(np.datetime64('0000-12-31'))


There are a number of helper functions to convert between :mod:`datetime`
objects and Matplotlib dates:

.. currentmodule:: matplotlib.dates

.. autosummary::
   :nosignatures:

   datestr2num
   date2num
   num2date
   num2timedelta
   drange
   set_epoch
   get_epoch

.. note::

   Like Python's `datetime.datetime`, Matplotlib uses the Gregorian calendar
   for all conversions between dates and floating point numbers. This practice
   is not universal, and calendar differences can cause confusing
   differences between what Python and Matplotlib give as the number of days
   since 0001-01-01 and what other software and databases yield.  For
   example, the US Naval Observatory uses a calendar that switches
   from Julian to Gregorian in October, 1582.  Hence, using their
   calculator, the number of days between 0001-01-01 and 2006-04-01 is
   732403, whereas using the Gregorian calendar via the datetime
   module we find::

     In [1]: date(2006, 4, 1).toordinal() - date(1, 1, 1).toordinal()
     Out[1]: 732401

All the Matplotlib date converters, locators and formatters are timezone aware.
If no explicit timezone is provided, :rc:`timezone` is assumed, provided as a
string.  If you want to use a different timezone, pass the *tz* keyword
argument of `num2date` to any date tick locators or formatters you create. This
can be either a `datetime.tzinfo` instance or a string with the timezone name
that can be parsed by `~dateutil.tz.gettz`.

A wide range of specific and general purpose date tick locators and
formatters are provided in this module.  See
:mod:`matplotlib.ticker` for general information on tick locators
and formatters.  These are described below.

The dateutil_ module provides additional code to handle date ticking, making it
easy to place ticks on any kinds of dates.  See examples below.

.. _dateutil: https://dateutil.readthedocs.io

.. _date-locators:

Date tick locators
------------------

Most of the date tick locators can locate single or multiple ticks. For example::

    # import constants for the days of the week
    from matplotlib.dates import MO, TU, WE, TH, FR, SA, SU

    # tick on Mondays every week
    loc = WeekdayLocator(byweekday=MO, tz=tz)

    # tick on Mondays and Saturdays
    loc = WeekdayLocator(byweekday=(MO, SA))

In addition, most of the constructors take an interval argument::

    # tick on Mondays every second week
    loc = WeekdayLocator(byweekday=MO, interval=2)

The rrule locator allows completely general date ticking::

    # tick every 5th easter
    rule = rrulewrapper(YEARLY, byeaster=1, interval=5)
    loc = RRuleLocator(rule)

The available date tick locators are:

* `MicrosecondLocator`: Locate microseconds.

* `SecondLocator`: Locate seconds.

* `MinuteLocator`: Locate minutes.

* `HourLocator`: Locate hours.

* `DayLocator`: Locate specified days of the month.

* `WeekdayLocator`: Locate days of the week, e.g., MO, TU.

* `MonthLocator`: Locate months, e.g., 7 for July.

* `YearLocator`: Locate years that are multiples of base.

* `RRuleLocator`: Locate using a `rrulewrapper`.
  `rrulewrapper` is a simple wrapper around dateutil_'s `dateutil.rrule`
  which allow almost arbitrary date tick specifications.
  See :doc:`rrule example </gallery/ticks/date_demo_rrule>`.

* `AutoDateLocator`: On autoscale, this class picks the best `DateLocator`
  (e.g., `RRuleLocator`) to set the view limits and the tick locations.  If
  called with ``interval_multiples=True`` it will make ticks line up with
  sensible multiples of the tick intervals.  For example, if the interval is
  4 hours, it will pick hours 0, 4, 8, etc. as ticks.  This behaviour is not
  guaranteed by default.

.. _date-formatters:

Date formatters
---------------

The available date formatters are:

* `AutoDateFormatter`: attempts to figure out the best format to use.  This is
  most useful when used with the `AutoDateLocator`.

* `ConciseDateFormatter`: also attempts to figure out the best format to use,
  and to make the format as compact as possible while still having complete
  date information.  This is most useful when used with the `AutoDateLocator`.

* `DateFormatter`: use `~datetime.datetime.strftime` format strings.

class AutoDateFormatter(ticker.Formatter):
    """
    A `.Formatter` which attempts to figure out the best format to use.  This
    is most useful when used with the `AutoDateLocator`.

    `.AutoDateFormatter` has a ``.scaled`` dictionary that maps tick scales (the
    interval in days between one major tick) to format strings; this dictionary
    defaults to ::

        self.scaled = {
            DAYS_PER_YEAR: rcParams['date.autoformatter.year'],
            DAYS_PER_MONTH: rcParams['date.autoformatter.month'],
            1: rcParams['date.autoformatter.day'],
            1 / HOURS_PER_DAY: rcParams['date.autoformatter.hour'],
            1 / MINUTES_PER_DAY: rcParams['date.autoformatter.minute'],
            1 / SEC_PER_DAY: rcParams['date.autoformatter.second'],
            1 / MUSECONDS_PER_DAY: rcParams['date.autoformatter.microsecond'],
        }

    The formatter uses the format string corresponding to the lowest key in
    the dictionary that is greater or equal to the current scale.  Dictionary
    entries can be customized::

        locator = AutoDateLocator()
        formatter = AutoDateFormatter(locator)
        formatter.scaled[1/(24*60)] = '%M:%S' # only show min and sec

    Custom callables can also be used instead of format strings.  The following
    example shows how to use a custom format function to strip trailing zeros
    from decimal seconds and adds the date to the first ticklabel::

        def my_format_function(x, pos=None):
            x = matplotlib.dates.num2date(x)
            if pos == 0:
                fmt = '%D %H:%M:%S.%f'
            else:
                fmt = '%H:%M:%S.%f'
            label = x.strftime(fmt)
            label = label.rstrip("0")
            label = label.rstrip(".")
            return label

        formatter.scaled[1/(24*60)] = my_format_function
    """

    # This can be improved by providing some user-level direction on
    # how to choose the best format (precedence, etc.).

    # Perhaps a 'struct' that has a field for each time-type where a
    # zero would indicate "don't show" and a number would indicate
    # "show" with some sort of priority.  Same priorities could mean
    # show all with the same priority.

    Attributes
    ----------
    intervald : dict

        Mapping of tick frequencies to multiples allowed for that ticking.
        The default is ::

            self.intervald = {
                YEARLY  : [1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 40, 50, 100, 200, 400, 500,
                           1000, 2000, 4000, 5000, 10000],
                MONTHLY : [1, 2, 3, 4, 6],
                DAILY   : [1, 2, 3, 7, 14, 21],
                HOURLY  : [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12],
                MINUTELY: [1, 5, 10, 15, 30],
                SECONDLY: [1, 5, 10, 15, 30],

            }

        where the keys are defined in `dateutil.rrule`.

        The interval is used to specify multiples that are appropriate for
        the frequency of ticking. For instance, every 7 days is sensible
        for daily ticks, but for minutes/seconds, 15 or 30 make sense.

        When customizing, you should only modify the values for the existing
        keys. You should not add or delete entries.

        Example for forcing ticks every 3 hours::

            locator = AutoDateLocator()
            locator.intervald[HOURLY] = [3]  # only show every 3 hours

            ticks (ticking every other, every 3, etc.).  For fine-grained
            control, this can be a dictionary mapping individual rrule
            frequency constants (YEARLY, MONTHLY, etc.) to their own maximum

    .. note::

        By default, Matplotlib uses a floating point representation of time in

        microsecond time resolution does not work well for
        dates that are far (about 70 years) from the epoch (check with
        `~.dates.get_epoch`).

        If you want sub-microsecond resolution time plots, it is strongly
        recommended to use floating point seconds, not datetime-like
        time representation.

        If you really must use datetime.datetime() or similar and still
        need microsecond precision, change the time origin via
        `.dates.set_epoch` to something closer to the dates being plotted.
