Rotate tick labels for seaborn barplot
I am trying to display a chart with rotated x-axis labels, but the chart is not displaying.
import seaborn as sns
%matplotlib inline
yellow='#FFB11E'
by_school=sns.barplot(x ='Organization Name',y ='Score',data = combined.sort('Organization Name'),color=yellow,ci=None)
At this point I can see the image, but after I set the xticklabel, I don't see the image anymore only an object reference. (I would post the image, but I don't enough reputation :()
by_school.set_xticklabels('Organization Name',rotation=45)
<matplotlib.axes._subplots.AxesSubplot at 0x3971a6a0>
A similar question is posted here: Rotate label text in seaborn factorplot but the solution is not working.
Answer
You need a different method call, namely .set_rotation for each ticklables.
Since you already have the ticklabels, just change their rotations:
for item in by_school.get_xticklabels():
item.set_rotation(45)
barplot returns a matplotlib.axes object (as of seaborn 0.6.0), therefore you have to rotate the labels this way. In other cases, when the method returns a FacetGrid object, refer to Rotate label text in seaborn factorplot
