How can I set the x-axis as datetimes on a bokeh plot?

Question

I'm using bokeh with an ipython notebook.

I want to plot a line graph in bokeh using a pandas DataFrame containing datetimes:

import pandas as pd from datetime import datetime as dt from bokeh.io import output_notebook from bokeh.charts import Bar, Line, show  df = pd.DataFrame(data=[1,2,3],                   index=[dt(2015, 1, 1), dt(2015, 1, 2), dt(2015, 1, 3)],                   columns=['foo'])  output_notebook() show(Line(df)) 

However, bokeh uses microseconds! Why is this? How do I fix it?

Answer 1

As of bokeh 0.12.3, you can now do:

p = figure(..., x_axis_type='datetime', ...)
