How to plot only business hours and weekdays in pandas - pandas

Question

I have hourly stock data.
I need a) to format it so that matplotlib ignores weekends and non-business hours and b) an hourly frequency.
The problem:
Currently, the graph looks crammed and I suspect it is because matplotlib is taking into account 24 hours instead of 8, and 7 days a week instead of business days.
How do I tell pandas to only take into account business hours, M- F?
How I am graphing the data:
I am looping through a list of price data dataframes, graphing each data frame:
mm = 0
for ii in df:
Ddate = ii['Date']
Pprice = ii['Price']
d = Ddate.to_list()
p = Pprice.to_list()
dates = make_dt(d)
prices = unstring(p)
plt.figure()
plt.plot(dates,prices)
plt.title(stocks[mm])
plt.grid(True)
plt.xlabel('Dates')
plt.ylabel('Prices')
mm += 1
the graph:

Answer 1

To fetch business days, you can use below function:
df["IsBDay"] = bool(len(pd.bdate_range(df['date'], df['date'])))
//Above line should add a new column into the DF as IsBday.
//You can also use Lambda expression to check and have new column for BDay.
df['IsBDay'] = df['date'].apply(lambda x: 'True' if bool(len(pd.bdate_range(x, x))) else 'False')
Now create a new DF that will have only True IsBday column value and other columns.
df[df.IsBday != 'False']
Now your DF is ready for ploting.
Hope this helps.
