Can a tick label be on two separate lines? For example:
LabelsList = ['Howard', 'Vince', 'Bob', 'Naboo the Enigma']
xlabels = ax.set_xticklabels( LabelsList, rotation=35,
horizontalalignment='right', fontstyle='italic', fontsize='10')
How can I put "Naboo the Enigma" on two lines? I've tried to enter newlines
and carriage returns in the list element (e.g. 'Naboo\n the Enigma') without
any luck.

Actually, that’s how I do it, if I remember correctly. What is your platform and mpl version?

I have Ubuntu 11.04, Python 2.7.1+, mpl 1.1.0. I've seen examples in the mpl
gallery of two-liner labels, but none that are rotated. Perhaps I didn't
look closely enough.

Seems to work fine for me using GTKAgg. Which backend are you using?

I added these lines:
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('GTKAgg')
I still get the "\n" printed literally in the label (an actual carriage
return shows up as an empty rectangle).
