Is there a way to access ticks labels to rotate them? I've tried Graphics.matplotlib() and set_rotation(), but this doesn't seem to produce changes. Am I doing wrong things? In the example below the formatter and locator are working correctly, but the problem is all labels are oriented horizontally, messing all together. Need to rotate them.

# Z is a list of [(x1,y1),(x2,y2)...]
# x1,x2 are dates
p = list_plot( Z, ticks=[10, None], tick_formatter=[dates.DateFormatter('%d.%m.%Y'), None], axes_labels=[ 'Days', '$\\log \\;{N}$' ], scale='semilogy' )

G = p.matplotlib()
labels = G.axes[0].xaxis.get_ticklabels()
labels = list(labels)

for label in labels:
    label.set_rotation(45)

p

This outputs the plot with an ugly x-axis on which all the dates are messed up. How to fix that?

In the example below below, the formatter and locator are working correctly, but the problem is all labels are oriented horizontally, messing all together. together since each tick label is a date and therefore quite long. Need to rotate them.
