Barchart with vertical labels in python/matplotlib

Question

I\'m using matplotlib to generate a (vertical) barchart. The problem is my labels are rather long. Is there any way to display them vertically, either in the bar or above it or

Answer 1

In Jupyter Notebook you might use something like this

%matplotlib inline
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

plt.xticks(rotation='vertical')
plt.plot(np.random.randn(100).cumsum())

or you can use:

plt.xticks(rotation=90)
