Plotting Electricity Usage Over Time on a Custom Date Axis Using Matplotlib and SQLite
Understanding the Problem and Requirements The problem presented is a common issue encountered when plotting data on a time axis that spans multiple days. The user has a dataset of 5-minute measurements of electricity usage, which are stored in an SQLite database. They want to plot these values on a matplotlib graph, with the x-axis representing the day, divided into intervals of approximately 3-4 hours.
Setting Up the Environment To solve this problem, we need to set up our environment with the necessary libraries and modules.
