I'm always unsure whether to go through xaxis or ax.tick_params('x', rotation=70). Slight tendency for the higher-level ax.tick_params in simple cases but basically either is fine.

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

# You can specify a rotation for the tick labels in degrees or with keywords.

# Pad margins so that markers don't get clipped by the Axes
plt.margins(0.2)
# Tweak spacing to prevent clipping of tick-labels
