[Matplotlib-users] Setting the tick label font size

[Daniele N. <da...@gr...>]

Hello,

I'm trying to change the font size for the tick labels. I've tried both
setting it explicitly when creating the labels:

  ax2.set_xticklabel(['%d' % x for x in arange(10)], fontsize=10)

or after:

  for label in ax2.get_xticklabels():
      label.set_fontsize(8)

but the rendering is unaffected by the setting.  This is with the MacOSX
backend and with the PDF backend.  Is it a bug or am I missing something?

Thanks. Best,
Daniele
