[FIXED] How do I spread out the points on the x-axis?

Issue

The labels on the x-axis are unreadable now (they are names), I was wondering if there was a way to space them out more/make it possible to read them.

my plot(i am using matplotlib on python)

This is my code:

 plt.scatter(directors_u, dir_avg_imdb)
  plt.show()

I tried changing the xlim but the x axis remains clustered together

Solution

You can adjust figure size using plt.figure(figsize=(15, 8)). You can use plt.tight_layout(). Another option may be plt.xticks(rotation=45) rotating labels.
