matplotlib.pyplot.xticks - moves my plot data












0














Image with 2015 on X axis



I have the above plot, which is almost perfect, but I want to get rid of the 2015, and I have to do it with code not paint.



When I try the following code;



    plt.xticks(np.arange(12), calendar.month_name[1:13], rotation=20)


My plot gets all messed up;



Messed up image



How can I use plt.xticks without it squishing all my plot data over to the right hand side?

    You wouldn't use xticks at all. Instead use a formatter that does not have 2015 in it. If you want to share a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example, I'd be easier to know how you create the plot in the first place and hence what the best obtion here is.
