Re: [Matplotlib-users] axvspan with dates on x-axis

Still not working. The output looks like this:

File "NotasFaltasdoisgraficos.py", line 58
   ax3.axvspan(*mdates.datestr2num(['05/18/2012', '06/30/2012']), facecolor='g', alpha=0.5)
                                                                                                                           ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

When you say "...change the months to short English form" you mean in the data file?
That is, Abr -> Apr, Mai -> May??? ...still did not work.

Looks like your very close.


I needed to change the months to short English form, change the line

   ax3.grid('True') to ax3.grid(True)

and add the line

   ax3.axvspan(*mdates.datestr2num(['05/18/2012', '06/30/2012']),
facecolor='g', alpha=0.5)

To get the box on the lower plot.

Hope that helps,
