Separate formatting for tick labels

#1

Is there a way to format tick labels separately? For example:

LabelsList = ['Prospero', 'Miranda', 'Caliban', 'Ariel']

xlabels = ax.set_xticklabels( LabelsList, rotation=35,
horizontalalignment='right', fontstyle='italic', fontsize='10')

will give me italicized x tick labels; however, what if I want to italicize
all, but Prospero? Is there a way to format each label separately?

Try something like this.

ax = subplot(111)
LabelsList = ['Prospero', 'Miranda', 'Caliban', 'Ariel']
ax.set_xticks(range(len(LabelsList)))xlabels = ax.set_xticklabels(
LabelsList, rotation=35,
horizontalalignment='right',
fontstyle='italic', fontsize='10')
ticklabels = ax.get_xticklabels()ticklabels[0].set_fontstyle("normal")
