Example

calendar = "360_day"
dt = [
    cftime.datetime(year=2017, month=2, day=day, calendar=calendar)
    for day in range(1, 31)
]
cdt = [CalendarDateTime(item, calendar) for item in dt]
temperatures = [round(random.uniform(0, 12), 3) for _ in range(len(cdt))]

plt.plot(cdt, temperatures)
plt.margins(0.1)
plt.ylim(0, 12)
plt.xlabel("Date")
