DateAxisItem

class pyqtgraph.DateAxisItem(orientation='bottom', utcOffset=None, **kwargs)

Bases: AxisItem

An AxisItem that displays dates from unix timestamps.

The display format is adjusted automatically depending on the current time density (seconds/point) on the axis. For more details on changing this behaviour, see setZoomLevelForDensity().

Can be added to an existing plot e.g. via setAxisItems({'bottom':axis}).

__init__(orientation='bottom', utcOffset=None, **kwargs)

Create a new DateAxisItem.

For orientation and **kwargs, see AxisItem.__init__.

linkToView(view)

Link this axis to a ViewBox, causing its displayed range to match the visible range of the view.

setZoomLevelForDensity(density)

Setting zoomLevel and minSpacing based on given density of seconds per pixel

The display format is adjusted automatically depending on the current time density (seconds/point) on the axis. You can customize the behaviour by overriding this function or setting a different set of zoom levels than the default one. The zoomLevels variable is a dictionary with the maximal distance of ticks in seconds which are allowed for each zoom level before the axis switches to the next coarser level. To customize the zoom level selection, override this function.
