plot_date does not respect timezone (argument tz is ignored) #193
Description
Original report at SourceForge, opened Wed Feb 9 17:11:10 2011
The function matplotlib.pyplot.plot_date has a keyword argument tz that may contain a time zone for formatting the time values.
This argument is ignored.
matplotlib.version == '1.0.1'
Details
The keyword argument tz is really erroneously ignored in
matplotlib.axes.Axes.xaxis_date (file "axes.py", line 2679)
but it matters for the high level function matplotlib.pyplot.plot_date.
