[Matplotlib-users] Bar Graph and X-axis data marks

[Nertskull]

I've searched and can't figure this out.

And I'm not sure exactly the best way to do it.

Basically, I'm trying to make a bar graph, and I have about 400 bars (so
400 x-axis 'groups').

When I plot it, I get every bar labelled, but that is too much to be
seen. How do I make it so I only label every 10th bar, or every 50th bar?

The data is ordered data, so it doesn't matter if many don't have a label.

Thanks.

Nertskull,

If no one responds, you might repost with some examples of what you’ve tried. I would suggest xticks and company, but I’m not sure if it works in your situation.
