Rotate tick labels for seaborn barplot

Question

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\'

Answer 1

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
