DateListLogPlot

DateListLogPlot[{{date1,y1},{date2,y2},…}]

makes a log plot with values yi at a sequence of dates.

DateListLogPlot[{y1,y2,…},datespec]

makes a log plot with dates at equal intervals specified by datespec.

DateListLogPlot[tseries]

plots the time series tseries.

DateListLogPlot[{data1,data2,…}]

plots data from all the datai.

DateListLogPlot[{…,w[datai],…}]

plots datai with features defined by the symbolic wrapper w.

Details and Options

  • DateListLogPlot is also known as a semi-log time series plot or chronological plot.
  • DateListLogPlot effectively plots points based on Log[yi] but with tick marks indicating the unscaled values yi, making exponential growth appear as a straight line.
  • Regular data {y1,…,yn} is plotted as a functional curve through the points {datei,yi}, with the datei evenly spaced between the starting and ending dates from datespec.
  • Irregular data {{date1,y1},…,{daten,yn}} is plotted as the ordered curve through the points {datei,yi} in chronological order.
  • Possible forms of datei include:
  • DateObject[…],TimeObject[…]date or time object
    "string"DateString specification
    {y,m,d,h,m,s}DateList specification
    {y},{y,m},{y,m,d},…shortened date list
    tabsolute time given as a single number
  • In shortened date lists, omitted elements are taken to have default values {y,1,1,0,0,0}.
  • Possible forms of datespec include:
  • {start,end}dates from start to end in equal increments
    {start,Automatic,Δt}dates beginning with start in increments Δt
    {Automatic,end,Δt}dates ending with end in increments Δt
    startdates with increments determined by the form of start
  • The Δt in datespec can be a {y,m,d,h,m,s} date list specification or any of the special forms "Year", "Quarter", "Month", "Week", "Day", "Hour", "Minute", "Second", and "Millisecond".
  • If no explicit Δt is given, the increments used will be the smallest time unit specified explicitly in start.
  • Data values yi can be given in the following forms:
  • yia positive-valued number
    Quantity[yi,unit]a quantity with a unit
    Around[yi,ei]value yi with uncertainty ei
    Interval[{ymin,ymax}]values between ymin and ymax
  • Values yi that are not of the preceding form are taken to be missing and are not shown.
  • The datai have the following forms and interpretations:
  • <|"k1"y1,"k2"y2,…|>values {y1,y2,…}
    <|date1y1,date2y2,…|>key-value pairs {{date1,y1},{date2,y2},…}
    SparseArrayvalues as a normal array
    TimeSeries, EventSeriestime-value pairs
    QuantityArraymagnitudes
    WeightedDataunweighted values
  • DateListLogPlot[Tabular[…]cspec] extracts and plots values from the tabular object using the column specification cspec.
  • The following forms of column specifications cspec are allowed for plotting tabular data:
  • {colx,coly}plot column y against column x
    {{colx1,coly1},{colx2,coly2},…}plot column y1 against column x1, y2 against x2, …
    coly, {coly}plot column y as a sequence of values
    {{coly1},…,{colyi},…}plot columns y1, y2, … as sequences of values
  • The colx can also be Automatic, in which case, sequential values are generated using DataRange.
  • The following wrappers w can be used for the datai:
  • Annotation[datai,label]provide an annotation for the data
    Button[datai,action]define an action to execute when the points are clicked
    EventHandler[datai,…]define a general event handler for the points
    Highlighted[datai,effect]dynamically highlight fi with an effect
    Highlighted[datai,Placed[effect,pos]]statically highlight fi with an effect at position pos
    Hyperlink[datai,uri]make the points a hyperlink
    Labeled[datai,label]label the data
    Legended[datai,label]identify the data in a legend
    PopupWindow[datai,cont]attach a popup window to the points
    StatusArea[datai,label]display in the status area on mouseover
    Style[datai,styles]show the points using the specified styles
    Tooltip[datai,label]attach a tooltip to the points
    Tooltip[datai]use data values as tooltips for the points
  • Wrappers w can be applied at multiple levels:
  • {…,w[yi],…}wrap the value yi in a list
    {…,w[{datei,yi}],…}wrap the point {datei,yi}
    w[datai]wrap the data datai
    w[{data1,…}]wrap a collection of data
    w1[w2[…]]use nested wrappers
  • In DateListLogPlot, Labeled and Placed allow the following positions:
  • Automaticautomatically placed labels
    Above, Below, Before, Afterpositions around the data
    datenear the data at date
    Scaled[s]scaled position s along the data
    {s,Above},{s,Below},…relative position at position s along the data
    {pos,epos}epos in label placed at relative position pos of the data

Only allow labels that are orthogonal to the points:

Only allow labels that are diagonal to the points:

Allow labels to be clipped by the edges of the plot:

PlotHighlighting  (10)

Plots have interactive coordinate callouts with the default setting PlotHighlightingAutomatic:

Use PlotHighlightingNone to disable the highlighting for the entire plot:

Use Highlighted[…,None] to disable highlighting for a single set:

Move the mouse over a set of points to highlight it using arbitrary graphics directives:

Move the mouse over the curve to highlight it with a label and drop lines to the axes:

Use a ball and label to highlight a specific point in the plot:

Move the mouse over the points to highlight them with balls and labels:

Use a ball and label to highlight a specific point on the points:

Move the mouse over the plot to highlight it with a slice showing values corresponding to the position:

Highlight a particular set of points at a fixed value:

Move the mouse over the plot to highlight it with a slice showing values corresponding to the position:

Highlight the curves at a fixed value:

Use a component that shows the points on the plot closest to the position of the mouse cursor:

Specify the style for the points:

Use a component that shows the coordinates on the points closest to the mouse cursor:

Use Callout options to change the appearance of the label:

Combine components to create a custom effect:

PlotInteractivity  (3)

Plots have interactive highlighting by default:

Turn off all the interactive elements:

Allow provided interactive elements and disable automatic ones:

PlotLabel  (1)

Add an overall label to the plot:

PlotLabels  (4)

Specify text to label curves:

Place the label above the data:

Place the label below the data at a specific date:

PlotLabels->Automatic uses keys of an association as data labels:

Use None to not add a label:

PlotLayout  (2)

By default, curves are overlaid on each other:

Plot the data in a stacked layout:

Place each curve in a separate panel using shared axes:

Use a row instead of a column:

PlotLegends  (7)

Use a legend:

PlotLegends matches up styles in the plot automatically:

PlotLegends matches up markers in the plot automatically:

Use Joined->Automatic in legends to match up the plot:

Use a list of legend labels:

Use Placed to specify legend placement:

Use PointLegend to change legend appearance:

PlotRange  (1)

Restrict the range of dates to plot over:

PlotTheme  (1)

Use a theme with detailed frame ticks and grid lines:

Turn off the grid lines:

ScalingFunctions  (2)

By default, DateListLogPlot uses a Date scale on the x axis and a Log scale for the y axis:

Reverse the vertical scale so larger numbers are toward the bottom:

Ticks  (9)

Ticks are placed automatically in each plot:

Use TicksNone to draw axes without any tick marks:

Use ticks on the date axis but not the axis:

Place tick marks at specific positions:

Draw tick marks at the specified positions with the specified labels:

Use specific ticks on one axis and automatic ticks on the other:

Specify the lengths for tick marks as a fraction of the graphics size:

Use different sizes in the positive and negative directions for each tick:

Specify a style for each tick:

Construct a function that places ticks at the midpoint and extremes of the numerical axis:

TicksStyle  (4)

By default, the ticks and tick labels use the same styles as the axis:

Specify an overall ticks style, including the tick labels:

Specify ticks style for each of the axes:

Use a different style for the tick labels and tick marks:

Applications  (2)

Get and plot stock price data:

Plot data gathered at regular intervals and stored without explicit dates:

Modify the ticks:

Properties & Relations  (2)

Date coordinates are plotted as absolute times:

A ListLogPlot using the AbsoluteTime values:

DateListPlot plots date‐based data on a linear scale:
