I'm trying to draw a line chart with a "date_range" date list as x-axis and a list of integers "balance" as y axis

But when plot it omit some dates.

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize = (4, 7), dpi = 70, constrained_layout = True)
ax = plt.plot(date_range, balance)

There are only 7 dates of 17, how i plot all data?

The data is all plotted, you just need to change the labels. – BigBen Jul 31 '20 at 17:29

All the data has been plotted (you can see 17 changes of direction in the line chart), the labels on the axes are independent of the data items – Simon Notley Jul 31 '20 at 17:29
what method i should use? – Caeta Jul 31 '20 at 17:35

Does this answer your question? [Modify date ticks for pandas plot](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45704366/modify-date-ticks-for-pandas-plot) – Trenton McKinney Jul 31 '20 at 17:48
It says pandas, but pandas uses matplotlib as the backend. The duplicate resolves the question with a matplotlib solution. – Trenton McKinney Jul 31 '20 at 17:50
I solved it with ax.set_xticks(date_range) – Caeta Jul 31 '20 at 18:05
That works if you have a limited number of ticks, the duplicate is a more robust solution, allowing the user to specify the tick interval for cases with many labels. – Trenton McKinney Jul 31 '20 at 18:42
