Examples
The following line is done automatically by pandas so the plot can be rendered:
>>> pd.plotting.register_matplotlib_converters()
>>> df = pd.DataFrame({'ts': pd.period_range('2020', periods=2, freq='M'), ... 'y': [1, 2] ... }) >>> plot = df.plot.line(x='ts', y='y')
Unsetting the register manually an error will be raised:
>>> pd.set_option("plotting.matplotlib.register_converters", ... False) >>> df.plot.line(x='ts', y='y') Traceback (most recent call last): TypeError: float() argument must be a string or a real number, not 'Period'
