I am sorry if this has been covered in teh archives or is RTFM-sh but I looked in both places and am low on time. I want to use text as the value for the X-axis ticks not numbers. Something like ‘Trial1’, ‘Trial2’, ‘Control’ instead of 1,2,3.
Is this even possible? It seems that this would be a VERY common need. I think that it must be obvious but I just can not figure it out. I fi just try to supply the text labels as a list the same place the normal xVals would be used (pl.plot(xVals,yVals)) it does not understand.
Thanks.

Hey,
Try this:
plot([1,2,3])
locs, labels = xticks([0,1,2], [‘Trial1’, ‘Trial2’, ‘Control’])

You are welcome Gus 
Go ahead and try these too… I am assuming that you are experimenting in Ipython with --pylab.
Use ? or ?? or browse and read for more information regarding to the usage of functions (http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/pyplot_api.html) I am sure gallery has some extra demonstration, too
setp(labels, ‘rotation’, ‘vertical’)
xticklabels = getp(gca(), ‘xticklabels’)
setp(xticklabels, fontsize=14, weight=‘bold’)
Have fun
