Why set_xticks doesn't set the labels of ticks?

.set_xticks() on the axes will set the locations and set_xticklabels() will set the displayed text.

def test(axes):
    axes.bar(x,y)
    axes.set_xticks(x)
    axes.set_xticklabels([i+100 for i in x])

Another function that might be useful, if you don't want labels for every (or even any) tick is axes.tick_params.

def test(axes):
    axes.tick_params(axis='x',which='minor',direction='out',bottom=True,length=5)
