Demo of custom tick-labels with user-defined rotation.

    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

    x = [1, 2, 3, 4]
    y = [1, 4, 9, 6]
    labels = ['Frogs', 'Hogs', 'Bogs', 'Slogs']

    plt.plot(x, y, 'ro')
    # You can specify a rotation for the tick labels in degrees or with keywords.
    plt.xticks(x, labels, rotation='vertical')
    # Pad margins so that markers don't get clipped by the axes
    plt.margins(0.2)
    # Tweak spacing to prevent clipping of tick-labels
    plt.subplots_adjust(bottom=0.15)
    plt.show()
