Ok, I've added:

p.set_xticks(range(len(graph.sourceReader.headers)))

Is it possible to change the angle of ticks? Right now they are overwriting=
=20
each other. When I could change the angle to 45=B0 for example there would =
be=20
enough space.

Since I don't know in which format the input data will be I can't use=20
functions which treat them specifically as dates.
