String xticks overlapping and TypeError in Matplotlib












0















I am trying to create a graph with a complete dataframe column as the x-ticks. However, all xticks are overlapping and not roated and I am receiving a TypeError (see image).



plot = results_df.plot(x='CPV Description', y=['Coefficient', 'Std Error'], figsize=(20,5), grid=False)
plot.set_ylabel('Coefficient/Std Error')
plot.set_xticklabels(results_df['CPV Description'])
plt.xticks(results_df['CPV Description'],rotation=90)


enter image description here



Does anyone know how to fix this?

  • not working - AttributeError: 'AxesSubplot' object has no attribute 'xticks'

  • Maybe scrap results_df.plot entirely and use plt? This seems helpful: matplotlib.org/gallery/ticks_and_spines/…

  • The problem is that you do not tell matplotlib where to put the labels. It should work though if you remove the last two lines. Rotating labels can e.g. be achieved through plt.setp(ax.get_xticklabels(), rotation=90).
