I can only set the x axis limit to a certain date, but not with hours, minutes seconds. My code looks like this:
plt.figure()
plt.plot(data.date,sig,'b-')
plt.xlim([datetime.date(2022,4,27),datetime.date(2022,4,29)])
plt.ylim()
And my data frame looks like this:
date x y z bat
0 2022-04-27 11:07:39.721 -0.875 -0.143 0.516 NaN
1 2022-04-27 11:08:04.721 -0.875 -0.143 0.516 NaN
2 2022-04-27 11:08:29.721 -0.875 -0.143 0.484 NaN
3 2022-04-27 11:08:54.721 -0.875 -0.143 0.484 NaN
4 2022-04-27 11:09:19.721 -0.875 -0.143 0.484 NaN
I searched on the internet but I can only see examples of this xlimit with only a date, not with time. Does anyone know how I can add the time with it. for example the x limit should start at: '2022-04-27 11:07:39.721'
Kind regards,
Simon

Turned string time into dtype='datetime64[ms]'. Then I created a variable 'f' for the desired time formatting.
from matplotlib import dates
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.ticker
import numpy as np
time_ = ['2022-04-27 11:07:39.721', '2022-04-27 11:08:04.721',
'2022-04-27 11:08:29.721', '2022-04-27 11:08:54.721', '2022-04-27 11:09:19.721']
#time_[0]---<class 'str'>
data = np.array(time_, dtype='datetime64[ms]')#type(data[0]---<class 'numpy.datetime64'>
val = [1, 1, 1, 1, 1]
f = dates.DateFormatter('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
plt.plot(data, val)
plt.xlim(data[0], data[2])
#2022-04-27 11:07:39.721 by 2022-04-27 11:08:29.721
plt.ylim()
locator = matplotlib.ticker.LinearLocator(5)
ax.xaxis.set_major_locator(locator)
ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(f)
fig.autofmt_xdate()
plt.show()

I found the answer!
It should be datetime.datetime
instead of datetime.date
.
Example:
datetime.datetime(2022,4,27,12,1,1)
