There is a series of locators dedicated to displaying date and time:
- MinuteLocator: Locate minutes
- HourLocator: Locate hours
- DayLocator: Locate days of the month
- WeekdayLocator: Locate days of the week
- MonthLocator: Locate months, for example, 8 for August
- YearLocator: Locate years that in multiples
- RRuleLocator: Locate using matplotlib.dates.rrulewrapper
- The rrulewrapper is a simple wrapper around a dateutil.rrule (dateutil) that allows almost arbitrary date tick specifications
- AutoDateLocator: On autoscale, this class picks the best MultipleDateLocator to set the view limits and the tick locations
