ol, default: False If ``False``, get/set the major ticks/labels; if ``True``, the minor ticks/labels. **kwargs `.Text` properties can be used to control the appearance of the labels. Returns ------- locs The list of xtick locations. labels The list of xlabel `.Text` objects. Notes ----- Calling this function with no arguments (e.g. ``xticks()``) is the pyplot equivalent of calling `~.Axes.get_xticks` and `~.Axes.get_xticklabels` on the current axes. Calling this function with arguments is the pyplot equivalent of calling `~.Axes.set_xticks` and `~.Axes.set_xticklabels` on the current axes. Examples -------- >>> locs, labels = xticks() # Get the current locations and labels. >>> xticks(np.arange(0, 1, step=0.2)) # Set label locations. >>> xticks(np.arange(3), ['Tom', 'Dick', 'Sue']) # Set text labels. >>> xticks([0, 1, 2], ['January', 'February', 'March'], ... rotation=20) # Set text labels and properties. >>> xticks([]) # Disable xticks.
