I need to plot a few candlesticks charts with additional lines and various graphics on the chart, but I found that matplotlib.finance has been deprecated. Replaced by mpl_finance, but that's unmaintained too.
What should a honest newborn python developer use these days to plot candlesticks? any ideas?
The code I would be going to use for this would be something like:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.dates import DateFormatter, WeekdayLocator,\
DayLocator, MONDAY
from matplotlib.finance import candlestick_ohlc
mondays = WeekdayLocator(MONDAY)
alldays = DayLocator() # minor ticks on the days
weekFormatter = DateFormatter('%b %d') # e.g., Jan 12
dayFormatter = DateFormatter('%d') # e.g., 12
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
fig.subplots_adjust(bottom=0.2)
ax.xaxis.set_major_locator(mondays)
ax.xaxis.set_minor_locator(alldays)
ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(weekFormatter)
# ax.xaxis.set_minor_formatter(dayFormatter)
#plot_day_summary(ax, quotes, ticksize=3)
candlestick_ohlc(ax, candles, width=0.6)
ax.xaxis_date()
ax.autoscale_view()
plt.setp(plt.gca().get_xticklabels(),
rotation=45, horizontalalignment='right')
