I am not able to get nicer spaces between the xticks with the following code:
import random
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
coverages = [random.randint(1,10)*2] * 100
contig_names = ['AAB0008r'] * len(coverages)
fig = plt.figure()
fig.clf()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.yaxis.grid(True, linestyle='-', which='major', color='grey', alpha=0.5)
ind = range(len(coverages))
rects = ax.bar(ind, coverages, width=0.2, align='center', color='thistle')
ax.set_xticks(ind)
ax.set_xticklabels(contig_names)
#function to auto-rotate the x axis labels
fig.autofmt_xdate()
plt.show()
How to get more space between the xticks so they do not look like overlapped anymore?
Thank you in advance.

Use legend() method to avoid overlapping of labels and autopct. To display the figure, use show() method.
Matplotlib removes both labels and ticks by using xticks([]) and yticks([]) By using the method xticks() and yticks() you can disable the ticks and tick labels from both the x-axis and y-axis.
Faceting. Faceting is one of the methods you can use to avoid overlapping. Seaborn has a function FacetGrid() for faceting.
The spacing between ticklabels is exclusively determined by the space between ticks on the axes. Therefore the only way to obtain more space between given ticklabels is to make the axes larger.
You can try changing the figure size, the size of the xticklabels, their angle of rotation, etc.
# Set the figure size
fig = plt.figure(1, [20, 8])
# Set the x-axis limit
ax.set_xlim(-1,100)
# Change of fontsize and angle of xticklabels
plt.setp(ax.get_xticklabels(), fontsize=10, rotation='vertical')
