Fitting xticks on x-axis

[heiner55]

You can rotate the xticks:

#!/usr/bin/python3
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

kwh=[88736,92100,95420,98161,100326,327384]
yearmonthday=['2003-01-01','2003-02-01','2003-03-01','2003-04-01','2015-06-01']
.
plt.plot(range(len(kwh)),kwh)

plt.xticks(range(len(yearmonthday)),yearmonthday,rotation='vertical')
plt.title('Energy consumption 2003-2015')
plt.ylabel('Kilowatthour')
plt.savefig('Plotx.jpg')

plt.show()
