Is it possible to create space between my axis labels? They are overlapping (30 labels crunched together) Using python pandas...
genreplot.columns =['genres','pct']
genreplot = genreplot.set_index(['genres'])
genreplot.plot(kind='barh',width = 1)
I would post a picture, but i don't have 10 reputation.....

I tried recreating your problem but not knowing what exactly your labels are, I can only give you general comments on this problem. There are a few things you can do to reduce the overlapping of labels, including their number, their font size, and their rotation.
Here is an example:
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
genreplot = pd.DataFrame(columns=['genres', 'pct'])
genreplot.genres = np.random.random_integers(1, 10, 20)
genreplot.pct = np.random.random_integers(1, 100, 20)
genreplot = genreplot.set_index(['genres'])
ax = genreplot.plot(kind='barh', width=1)
Now, you can set what your labels 5
pct_labels = np.arange(0, 100, 5)
ax.set_xticks(pct_labels)
ax.set_xticklabels(pct_labels, rotation=45)
For further reference, you can take a look at this page for documentation on xticks and yticks:
