num2date(x, tz=None)

Notes

The addition of one here is a historical artifact. Also, note that the Gregorian calendar is assumed; this is not universal practice. For details, see the module docstring.

Parameters

x : float or sequence of floats

Number of days (fraction part represents hours, minutes, seconds) since the epoch. See .get_epoch for the epoch, which can be changed by date.epoch or .set_epoch .

tz : str, default: :rc:`timezone`

Timezone of x.

Returns

`~datetime.datetime` or sequence of `~datetime.datetime`

Dates are returned in timezone tz.

If x is a sequence, a sequence of datetime objects will be returned.

Convert Matplotlib dates to datetime objects.

Local connectivity graph

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.

Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)

SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.

All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
