Rotate label text in seaborn factorplot

I had a problem with the answer by @mwaskorn, namely that

g.set_xticklabels(rotation=30)

fails, because this also requires the labels. A bit easier than the answer by @Aman is to just add

plt.xticks(rotation=45)

This is still a matplotlib object. Try this:

# <your code here>
locs, labels = plt.xticks()
plt.setp(labels, rotation=45)

You can rotate tick labels with the tick_params method on matplotlib Axes objects. To provide a specific example:

ax.tick_params(axis='x', rotation=90)
