axes.get_xticklabels() doesn't return all tick labels.

[pzakielarz]

There is no way to select both major and minor tick labels at the same time. For example
(if ax is a matplolib.axes),

for label in ax.get_xticklabels():
    label.set_rotation(45)

only adjusts the major ticks, and

for label in ax.get_xticklabels(minor=True):
    label.set_rotation(45)

only adjusts the minor ticks.

It would be convenient if axis.get_ticklabels() took an argument of the form which='both', instead of minor=True\False, which would allow the corresponding functionality to be implemented in ax.get_xticklabels().

You can get this without modifying the API

import itertools

for label in itertools.chain(*[ax.get_xticklabels(minor=minor) for minor in [True, False]]):
    label.set_rotation(45)
