I'm using matplotlib to generate a (vertical) barchart. The problem is my labels are rather long. Is there any way to display them vertically, either in the bar or above it or below it?

In general, to show any text in matplotlib with a vertical orientation, you can add the keyword rotation='vertical' . Maybe you can also find useful the options 'verticalalignment' and 'horizontalalignment', which allows you to define how to align the text with respect to the ticks or the other elements.
To add value labels on a Matplotlib bar chart, we can use the pyplot. text() function. The pyplot. text() function from the Matplotlib module is used to add text values to any location in the graph.
Do you mean something like this:
>>> from matplotlib import * >>> plot(xrange(10)) >>> yticks(xrange(10), rotation='vertical') ?

For further options, you can look at help(matplotlib.pyplot.text)
The yticks function plots the ticks on the y axis; I am not sure whether you originally meant this or the ylabel function, but the procedure is alwasy the same, you have to add rotation='vertical'
