[Matplotlib-users] label arbitrary strings on xaxis as in date mode

From: wfpunch <bill.punch@gm...> - 2009-04-24 21:21

Is it possible to create an axis labe, much like done for dates, using
arbitrary strings. For example, I'd like to plot word frequency where the
x-axis labels are the words and the y-axis the frequency.

I've looks at the locator and formatString stuff but I can't quite seem to
get it. Any help appreciated.

Does xticks do what you want?

I'm not clear on how to do the rotation of the font by the 45 degree angle
(as in the date mode) using just xticks.  If there is some part to xticks
that would allow it I'd be pleased to hear it. Thanks.

Add the rotation keyword argument:

xticks(arange(5), ('Tom', 'Dick', 'Harry', 'Sally', 'Sue'), rotation=45)
