如何使用matplotlib绘制经典股票图表？

经典股票价格图表包含一条垂直线,连接每个时间段的最高价和最低价,左侧为开盘价(第一个),右侧为收盘价(最后一个价).

Matplotlib可以绘制日文版,称为烛台,但我无法找到西方版本的解决方案,简称为“条形图”. Matplotlib可以绘制这样的图表吗？

解决方法

调整matplotlib财务包( documentation,code)中的烛台功能：

def westerncandlestick(ax,quotes,width=0.2,colorup='k',colordown='r',ochl=True,linewidth=0.5):

    """
    Plot the time,open,high,low,close as a vertical line ranging
    from low to high.  Use a rectangular bar to represent the
    open-close span.  If close >= open,use colorup to color the bar,otherwise use colordown
    Parameters
    ----------
    ax : `Axes`
        an Axes instance to plot to
    quotes : sequence of quote sequences
        data to plot.  time must be in float date format - see date2num
        (time,close,...) vs
        (time,...)
        set by `ochl`
    width : float
        fraction of a day for the open and close lines
    colorup : color
        the color of the lines close >= open
    colordown : color
         the color of the lines where close <  open
    ochl: bool
        argument to select between ochl and ohlc ordering of quotes
    linewidth: float
        linewidth of lines
    Returns
    -------
    ret : tuple
        returns (lines,openlines,closelines) where lines is a list of lines
        added
    """

    OFFSET = width / 2.0

    lines = []
    openlines = []
    closelines = []
    for q in quotes:
        if ochl:
            t,low = q[:5]
        else:
            t,close = q[:5]

        if close >= open:
            color = colorup
        else:
            color = colordown

        vline = Line2D( xdata=(t,t),ydata=(low,high),color=color,linewidth=linewidth,antialiased=True)
        lines.append(vline)

        openline = Line2D(xdata=(t - OFFSET,ydata=(open,open),antialiased=True)
        openlines.append(openline)

        closeline = Line2D(xdata=(t,t+OFFSET),ydata=(close,close),antialiased=True)
        closelines.append(closeline)

        ax.add_line(vline)
        ax.add_line(openline)
        ax.add_line(closeline)

    ax.autoscale_view()

    return lines,closelines

叫它,例如像这样：

westerncandlestick(ax,width=0.6,linewidth=1.44,ochl=False)

当然,您可以使用colorup和colordown参数调整颜色.
