I am trying to plot a line graph in matplotlib using two lists.
The first list that I have for the x axis is
x = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
The next list that I have for the y axis is calculated time difference for each x axis value from a pandas DF of column of datetime objects.
I got this list from doing this
diff_layers_sd['Difference'] = diff_layers_sd['ValueTime'].diff()
This gave me a list populated with timedelta objects
y = [Timedelta('0 days 00:04:31'), Timedelta('0 days 00:04:16'), Timedelta('0 days 00:04:02'), Timedelta('0 days 00:04:16'), Timedelta('0 days 00:04:16'), Timedelta('0 days 00:04:01'), Timedelta('0 days 00:04:16'), Timedelta('0 days 00:04:16'), Timedelta('0 days 00:04:01'), Timedelta('0 days 00:04:16')]
I converted this column into a list and then tried to plot it but my plot is empty. Is there a way to plot Timedelta or to format my data? I would prefer for it to be just in MM:SS on the y-axis
code:
fig, ax = plt.subplots(nrows=13, ncols=1, figsize=(20,20),sharex=False)
...
ax[i].plot(x,y, label=title)
ax[i].yaxis_date()
ax[i].yaxis.set_major_formatter(mdates.DateFormatter("%M:%S")
