How to make x-axis readable with matplotlib
#4
I played around with the "too many labels" problem,
causing them to be untidy, or unreadable.
The solution is of course, less labels. The rotation "vertical" option helps. Smaller font also.
I ended up with a python/matplotlib solution that allows
to print only "every x-th" label from a vector of labels.
For evry 12-th observation the format looks like this:
lbls[::12]
