I am trying simply to shrink the font size and rotate xaxis labels:
fig1 = plt.figure()
ax1 = fig1.add_subplot(211)
ax2 = fig1.add_subplot(212)
ax1.plot_date(x,y,'r')
ax1.set_xticklabels(plt.gca().get_xmajorticklabels(),
size=6,rotation=30)
ax2.plot_date(o_X['time'],o_X['CO'],'y')
ax2.set_xticklabels(plt.gca().get_xmajorticklabels(),
size=6,rotation=30)
I end up with labels as: ("Text(0,0"Text(0,0,"")")
???

get_xmajorticklabels() returns a list of matplotlib's "Text" objects,
not python strings.
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/axes_api.html?highlight=get_xmajorticklabels#matplotlib.axes.Axes.get_xmajorticklabels
On the other hand, set_xticklabels() takes a list of python strings.
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/axes_api.html?highlight=set_xticklabels#matplotlib.axes.Axes.set_xticklabels
Something like below will work.
plt.setp(plt.gca().get_xmajorticklabels(),
size=6,rotation=30)

This is what I've now come to understand, but it seems very odd. Why
wouldn't it return the list of strings, or alternatively, how can you get
the list of strings? I guess you have to use the pyplot tools, but I was
trying to use so called 'fine grain' control and do everything at the axes
level.
plt.setp(plt.gca().get_xmajorticklabels(),
size=6,rotation=30)
In fact, what you show is how I was testing in ipython and it does worked,
it just seemed in a script it would be better to use the axis method, but
apparently it is different from the gca() method. This is what I don't
understand.
Thanks!

Why it does not return a list of strings? Because the documentation
says it does not. Well, I acknowledge the asymetry in the API, but
this is how things are.
How to get the list of strings? Use the "get_text" method of the "Text" object.
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/artist_api.html?#matplotlib.text.Text.get_text
I used pyplot function because you were calling plt.gca(). If you
don't like it, you can explicitly go over the for loop with
appropriate methods.
for t in ax1.get_xmajorticklabels():
t.set(size=6,rotation=30)
or use set_size and set_rotation if you prefer.
See the documentation for more details.
