Help with labels text on TGraph

[gyoice88]

Hello members,

I’m trying to set custom label text to my plot without succeding.
I have two variables containing UNIX timestamp (both x and y axis) like the following:
1571512509.75453281 1571512436.3672754765

I made a plot and i fit those points with pol1 function.
I’m using PyROOT and I was able to change Unix timestamp
in a human readable way such that : 2019_10_19__19_15_09
Now I would like to change the axis labels (both in x and y) with
those new formatted times.
The code is showed below:

import numpy as np
import ROOT
from ROOT import TChain, TSelector, TTree, TCanvas, TFile, TProfile, TGraph, TCanvas, TH1F, TH2F, TMultiGraph, TLegend, TH2D, gROOT
import time, sys, datetime



y = []
x = []

x_time = []
y_time = []
run = []

g_gtu = ROOT.TGraph()

r1=1560000000
with open("file") as f:
	for line in f:
		if "#" in line: continue
		vals = line.split()
		print vals[3], vals[7]
		x.append(float(vals[3]))
		y.append(float(vals[7]))
		run.append(int(vals[1]))
		loc_time_euso = time.gmtime(float(vals[3]))
		loc_time_true = time.gmtime(float(vals[7]))
		t_conv_euso = time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d, %H:%M:%S", loc_time_euso)
		t_conv_true = time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d, %H:%M:%S", loc_time_true)
		x_time.append(t_conv_euso)
		y_time.append(t_conv_true)
		g_gtu.SetPoint(g_gtu.GetN(), float(vals[3]), float(vals[7]))

print x_time, y_time
x = np.array(x)
y = np.array(y)
run = np.array(run)
#print x, type(x), y, type(y)

c1 = ROOT.TCanvas()
xaxis = g_gtu.GetXaxis()
yaxis = g_gtu.GetYaxis()
for h in range(len(x)):
	xaxis.SetBinLabel(h,x_time[h])
	yaxis.SetBinLabel(h,y_time[h])
#xaxis.SetLimits(0.,1700000000)
g_gtu.Draw("A*")
f = ROOT.TF1("f", "pol1", 1571512400-100000, 1575570364+100000)
#f = ROOT.TF1("f", "pol3", 1571512400-100000, 1575570364+100000)
#f = ROOT.TF1("f", "pol1")
fit_res = g_gtu.Fit(f, "SN")
print fit_res.GetParams()[0], fit_res.GetParams()[1] 

The resulting plot is the following:

Can someone help me to understand what’s happening? Probably it is a rebinning problem and I tried several way, also with a TH2F histogram but the issue remain.
Moreover, I would like to set also the label angle…i know there is the SetTextAngle method but I don’t know how to use it.

Could you please help me with the code or at least suggest me the right documentation?

Thank you in advance!

@couet Do you have an idea?

[couet]

Use TH1::LabelsDeflate().

g_gtu.GetHistogram()->LabelsDeflate();

[gyoice88]

It worked a bit…that’s the result:

So, a lot of points are overlapping or they disappeared?
Then, what about the problem with the y axis?

Thanks Couet

[couet]

Alpha numeric labels are not connected to the graph points …
I am not sure what you are trying to achieve here …

[gyoice88]

Ok.
I stood, so maybe it is not possible to have what i want. Actually I would like to have something like this:

In which each labels correspond to a point.

void graphtext3() {
   TCanvas *c = new TCanvas("c","A Simple Graph with labels on points",700,500);

   const Int_t n = 10;
   TGraph *gr = new TGraph(n);
   gr->SetTitle("A Simple Graph Example with Text");
   gr->SetMarkerStyle(20);

   TExec *ex = new TExec("ex","DrawText();");

   gr->GetListOfFunctions()->Add(ex);

   Double_t x, y;
   for (Int_t i=0;i<n;i++) {
      x = i*0.1;
      y = 10*sin(x+0.2);
      gr->SetPoint(i,x,y);

   }

   gr->Draw("ALP");
   gr->GetXaxis()->SetLabelSize(0);
   gr->GetXaxis()->SetTickLength(0);
}


void DrawText()
{
   Int_t i,n;
   Double_t x,y;
   TLatex *t;
   TLine *l;

   TGraph *g = (TGraph*)gPad->GetListOfPrimitives()->FindObject("Graph");
   double ymin = g->GetHistogram()->GetMinimum();
   double ymax= g->GetHistogram()->GetMaximum();
   double dy = (ymax-ymin);
   n = g->GetN();
   for (i=0; i<n; i++) {
      g->GetPoint(i,x,y);
      t = new TLatex(x, ymin-0.03*dy, Form("%4.2f",x));
      t->SetTextSize(0.025);
      t->SetTextFont(42);
      t->SetTextAlign(21);
      t->Paint();
      l = new TLine(x,ymin,x,ymin+0.03*dy);
      l->Paint();
   }
}
