body: <p>pyplot is not showing the x-axis on the graph:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import pandas as pd
  import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
  
  df = pd.read_csv('sitka_weather_2014.csv')    
  
  df['AKST'] = pd.to_datetime(df.AKST)
  df['Dates'] = df['AKST'].dt.strftime('%b %d, %Y')
  df.set_index("Dates", inplace= True)
  
  # Plot Data
  fig = plt.figure(dpi=256, figsize=(14, 7))
  plt.title("Daily high and low temperature - 2014")
  
  df['Max TemperatureF'].plot(linewidth=1, c='blue', label="Max Temperature °F")

  <p>The x-axis should be the index of the Pandas Dataframe (df) containing the dates.</p>
