Rotating x-axis labels in python xy

Question

I have strings as my x-axis labels and I need to rotate them to be veritcal so that they fit on the actual axis. I can't find any answers that seem to be for my version of python, when I try things it doesn't recognise keywords and/or parameters.

My lables are 4-bit binary strings .e.g. '0000','0001','0010'........

Can anyone help me please??

Is this what you are looking for?

plt.xticks(rotation=90)
plt.xticks(x, labels, rotation='vertical')

I've tried using the rotation parameter but it won't recognise it – Rob Mcnichol Apr 14 '19 at 11:39
What's your version of matplotlib? I assume python=2.7? Also, what's the error message? Would be good to share your codes here just to be sure. – ringoshin Apr 14 '19 at 13:56
