How to neaten up a heatmap in seaborn?

Question

I am plotting a correlation heatmap as follows:

plt.figure(figsize = (20,8))
sns.heatmap(df.corr(),annot=True, cmap = 'coolwarm')

and it is showing a plot as follows:

As it can be seen that the heatmap is not neatly made on the edges with the names and the values overlapping. Is there a way I can neaten it up to get a heatmap as follows:

Thanks

try adding `square=True`. Also take a look at the last example [here](https://seaborn.pydata.org/generated/seaborn.heatmap.html). — Dan, Sep 24 '19 at 12:24
Maybe do a `fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(20, 8))`, pass `ax` to `heatmap` and then try changing `ax.set_xlim` — Dan, Sep 24 '19 at 12:32

The following works fine for me

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(20, 8))
corr = df.corr()
sns.heatmap(corr, 
            xticklabels=corr.columns.values,
            yticklabels=corr.columns.values,
               annot=True)
plt.show()
