From 39699eb84f11be24b0ef70ca33dfb24378563941 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fangchen Li Date: Tue, 4 Nov 2025 20:14:31 -0800 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ENH: Apply TimeSeries_DateFormatter to bar plots with datetime indices (GH#1918) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Bar plots now use TimeSeries_DateFormatter for datetime and period indices, matching the formatting behavior of line plots. This provides consistent date formatting across different plot types. Changes: - Modified BarPlot._post_plot_logic() to detect time series indices - Convert DatetimeIndex to PeriodIndex for consistent formatting - Apply format_dateaxis() for proper date label formatting - Added test to verify bar plots use TimeSeries_DateFormatter - Updated secondary legend tests to use 'D' frequency instead of deprecated 'B' 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- doc/source/whatsnew/v3.0.0.rst | 1 + pandas/plotting/_matplotlib/core.py | 35 ++++++++++++++++++---- pandas/tests/plotting/test_datetimelike.py | 23 ++++++++++---- 3 files changed, 47 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/doc/source/whatsnew/v3.0.0.rst b/doc/source/whatsnew/v3.0.0.rst index 01650940c4692..3a690e865107e 100644 --- a/doc/source/whatsnew/v3.0.0.rst +++ b/doc/source/whatsnew/v3.0.0.rst @@ -207,6 +207,7 @@ Other enhancements - :meth:`.DataFrameGroupBy.transform`, :meth:`.SeriesGroupBy.transform`, :meth:`.DataFrameGroupBy.agg`, :meth:`.SeriesGroupBy.agg`, :meth:`.SeriesGroupBy.apply`, :meth:`.DataFrameGroupBy.apply` now support ``kurt`` (:issue:`40139`) - :meth:`DataFrame.apply` supports using third-party execution engines like the Bodo.ai JIT compiler (:issue:`60668`) - :meth:`DataFrame.iloc` and :meth:`Series.iloc` now support boolean masks in ``__getitem__`` for more consistent indexing behavior (:issue:`60994`) +- :meth:`DataFrame.plot.bar` and :meth:`Series.plot.bar` now use ``TimeSeries_DateFormatter`` for datetime and period indices, matching the formatting behavior of line plots (:issue:`1918`) - :meth:`DataFrame.to_csv` and :meth:`Series.to_csv` now support Python's new-style format strings (e.g., ``"{:.6f}"``) for the ``float_format`` parameter, in addition to old-style ``%`` format strings and callables.
