My lables for the different bars are not centered below the bar but are
all to the left side of the bars (lower left corner).
This is what I am basically doing:
axes = panel.figure.add_subplot(2, 2, 3)
…
axes.bar(indx, values, color=colors)
axes.set_xticklabels(labels)
I can not find how to provide the lables to the “bar” call or how else
to make sure that “Rot” is centered under the first bar, “Weiß” under
the second bar and so on.
Ideally I would like to have these labels printed at an angle.
Appreciate any hints

Put my glasses on and found the rotation property in the documentation, only issue left is centering the labels below the bars.

Are you using the align='center' kwarg to bar()?

You need to adjust the positions of the ticks.
bar command (by default) creates boxes so that their left side
corresponds the first argument.
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/pyplot_api.html#matplotlib.pyplot.bar
so, in your case, something like below will work (0.4 from 0.8/2 where
0.8 is the default width of the bar).
axes.set_xticks([x+0.4 for x in indx])
Alternatively, bars can be center-aligned.
See the docs for more,
Also, take a look at the example below (there are bunch of other
examples in the gallery)

No I did not, tried it but no change.

That does the trick. Thanks.
Although I wonder why "align='center'" does not work for me.
Will review the other samples and read the doc some more.
