Method set_rotation_mode

lib/matplotlib/text.py:353–373

Set text rotation mode. Parameters ---------- m : {None, 'default', 'anchor', 'xtick', 'ytick'} If ``"default"``, the text will be first rotated, then aligned according to their horizontal and vertical alignments. If ``"anchor"``, then

        Parameters
        ----------
        m : {None, 'default', 'anchor', 'xtick', 'ytick'}
            If ``"default"``, the text will be first rotated, then aligned according
            to their horizontal and vertical alignments.  If ``"anchor"``, then
            alignment occurs before rotation. "xtick" and "ytick" adjust the
            horizontal/vertical alignment so that the text is visually pointing
            towards its anchor point. This is primarily used for rotated tick
            labels and positions them nicely towards their ticks. Passing
            ``None`` will set the rotation mode to ``"default"``.
