I'm plotting, but find that I need to increase the area underneath chart such that I can plot the labels vertically but in a font size that is not so tiny. At the moment, I have:
plt.figure(count_fig) fig, ax = plt.subplots()
rects1 = ax.bar(ind, ratio_lst, width, color='r', linewidth=1, alpha=0.8, log=1)
ax.set_ylabel('')
ax.set_title('')
ax.set_xticks(ind_width)
ax.set_xticklabels(labels_lst, rotation='vertical', fontsize=6)
At the moment it works, but the labels often run-off the edge of the plot.
subplots_adjust will do it. You can play with the bottom keyword to get a good placement of the bottom of the plot.
fig.subplots_adjust(bottom=0.2)
