Modify tick label text

Question

I want to make some modifications to a few selected tick labels in a plot.

For example, if I do:

label = axes.yaxis.get_major_ticks()[2].label
label         


        

Answer 1

This works:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig, ax1 = plt.subplots(1,1)

x1 = [0,1,2,3]
squad = ['Fultz','Embiid','Dario','Simmons']

ax1.set_xticks(x1)
ax1.set_xticklabels(squad, minor=False, rotation=45)
