plt.xticks()

Signature: plt.xticks(ticks=None, labels=None, **kwargs)
Docstring:
Get or set the current tick locations and labels of the x-axis.

Pass no arguments to return the current values without modifying them.

Parameters
----------
ticks : array-like, optional
    The list of xtick locations.  Passing an empty list removes all xticks.
labels : array-like, optional
    The labels to place at the given *ticks* locations.  This argument can
    only be passed if *ticks* is passed as well.
**kwargs
    `.Text` properties can be used to control the appearance of the labels.

Returns
-------
locs
    The list of xtick locations.
labels
    The list of xlabel `.Text` objects.

Notes
-----
Calling this function with no arguments (e.g. ``xticks()``) is the pyplot
equivalent of calling `~.Axes.get_xticks` and `~.Axes.get_xticklabels` on
the current axes.
Calling this function with arguments is the pyplot equivalent of calling
`~.Axes.set_xticks` and `~.Axes.set_xticklabels` on the current axes.

Examples
--------
>>> locs, labels = xticks()  # Get the current locations and labels.
>>> xticks(np.arange(0, 1, step=0.2))  # Set label locations.
>>> xticks(np.arange(3), ['Tom', 'Dick', 'Sue'])  # Set text labels.
>>> xticks([0, 1, 2], ['January', 'February', 'March'],
...        rotation=20)  # Set text labels and properties.
>>> xticks([])  # Disable xticks.
