Can you please add tags since you're already updating the example?

Also can you add plot-type:bar ?

Anything folks would be likely to look this up based on, which I think here is bar charts, ticks, and labeling https://matplotlib.org/devdocs/devel/tag_guidelines.html ETA: also thanks! |

Closes #31221.
The old version was not quite meaningful so I replaced the whole example.
I've left out the variant with
set_xticks(positions, labels, rotation=...). It has the disadvantage of updating the individual ticks instead of the defaults, which breaks when zooming. We therefore have substantially removed its use in our examples. I didn't want to discuss this topic here, and actually there are very few cases in which one still needs to set tick positions and labels explicitly as most of that can be handled through categorical units.
