Question

I have a multi-figure Bokeh plot of vertically stacked & aligned figures. Because I want to align the plots vertically, the y-axis labels are rotated to be vertical rather

Looks like there is still no direct way to specify this. Please follow the related issue. This is a workaround:

from bokeh.models import SingleIntervalTicker, LinearAxis

plot = bp.figure(plot_width=800, plot_height=200, x_axis_type=None)
ticker = SingleIntervalTicker(interval=5, num_minor_ticks=10)
xaxis = LinearAxis(ticker=ticker)
plot.add_layout(xaxis, 'below')

You can control the number of tickets via the interval parameter in SingleIntervalTicker.
