Thread: [Matplotlib-users] ticks size

Hello.
I'm writing for a question about the bar() object. My problem is that I
have to write long labels to the ticks to indicate the bins' meaning but
they are overlapping one onto another. Is there any way i can handle the
size (without having to actually modify the whole system through config
file)? I paste the code I'm using:
ind = arange(len(colors.keys()))
bar(ind, colorpie, width=0.8)
grid(True)
ylabel('good categorizations')
xticks(ind, colors.keys())
savefig(results+'cate_pie.eps')
TIA

Yes, the size keyword:

xticks(ind, colors.keys(), size='smaller')
The possible values of size are listed at
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/fonts.html
(see font.size).
