Problem

This example was not updated when rotation_mode="xtick"/"ytick" was implemented in #28968.

Suggested improvement

Update the example (not only the code, but also the explaining text).

    Actually, I'd like to make the tick rotation modes the default for ticks #29926. This is what people will want 99% of the time and it would remove the need to know about and explicitly configure "rotation_mode". There are however some concerns with backward compatibility, which depending on how strict we want to be is a bit more work.
