[Discouraged] Set the xaxis' tick labels with list of string labels.
Discouraged
The use of this method is discouraged, because of the dependency on tick positions. In most cases, you'll want to use
Axes.set_[x/y/z]ticks(positions, labels)orAxes.set_xticksinstead.If you are using this method, you should always fix the tick positions before, e.g. by using
Axes.set_xticksor by explicitly setting aFixedLocator. Otherwise, ticks are free to move and the labels may end up in unexpected positions.- Parameters:
- labelssequence of str or of
Texts Texts for labeling each tick location in the sequence set by
Axes.set_xticks; the number of labels must match the number of locations.- minorbool
If True, set minor ticks instead of major ticks.
- fontdictdict, optional
A dictionary controlling the appearance of the ticklabels. The default fontdict is:
{'fontsize': rcParams['axes.titlesize'], 'fontweight': rcParams['axes.titleweight'], 'verticalalignment': 'baseline', 'horizontalalignment': loc}
- **kwargs
Text properties.
- labelssequence of str or of
- Returns:
- list of
Texts For each tick, includes
tick.label1if it is visible, thentick.label2if it is visible, in that order.
