Multilevel (Hierarchical) Axis #1573

Open bray2016 opened 2 years ago

bray2016 commented 2 years ago

Looking for a way to specify two separate axis layers for a line plot. Something like this figure. I've been able to find a lot of examples of how to do this with categorical distinctions, but not with a date variable.

bjarthur commented 2 years ago

you mean you just want to plot multiple lines with a time axis?

Im more looking for a way to have month and then have year below each month for multiple years. Something like:

Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec ----------------------- 2013------------------------------------------------------2014

Ignore the dashes, they are just to get the years in the right spots.

Perhaps like in https://github.com/GiovineItalia/Gadfly.jl/issues/1310#issuecomment-577388786, but with xgroup=:year, x=:month. That style would emphasize the year-to-year differences, if that is of interest.

Thanks for the suggestion. The issue is I am dealing with about 20 years worth of time series data, so I think showing 20 separate panels of yearly data could be a little overwhelming. Ideally, I could show it all on one graph so one could see the monthly variation for specific years as well as the aggregate trend across years
