You need to look up the matplotlib.dates package - it's covered briefly in the tutorial at http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/tutorial.html At a guess, you want something along the lines of this... from matplotlib.dates import YearLocator, MonthLocator, WeekdayLocator, \ DayLocator, HourLocator, MinuteLocator, SecondLocator, \ DateFormatter subplot.xaxis.set_major_locator(HourLocator(range(0,24,6))) subplot.xaxis.set_major_formatter(DateFormatter("%a %H:%M")) subplot.xaxis.set_minor_locator(HourLocator(range(0,24,1))) ...but you'll probably need to look up the documentation to get the details to suit what you need.
