It appears you need to install from the current git master to use the
labelrotationkwarg.Compare v2.0 docs vs. master docs
QuLogic commentedon Feb 22, 2017
Yep, you're looking at development docs, not 2.0.0 docs.

I just installed 2.1 and
labelrotationdoes not work.rotationdoes however. Also it would be nice ifax.tick_paramsdid horizontal alignment as well.tacaswell commentedon Oct 9, 2017
The docs do in fact say
labelrotationshould work, but it does nothttp://matplotlib.org/api/_as_gen/matplotlib.axes.Axes.tick_params.html
tacaswell commentedon Oct 9, 2017
Not sure if the correct fix is to make the docs match the code or the code match the docs though.

Rotation is used elsewhere. I prefer kwargs stay the same between calls. Right now I can never remember if it’s location or loc.

Is there a way to rotate the ticks ?
FIX: make labelrotation work as kwarg to tick_params as documented
