The setting xrot=0 in DataFrame.hist() doesn't work with by and subplots · Issue #30288 · pandas-dev/pandas (original) (raw)

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

df = pd.DataFrame({ 'length': [1.5, 0.5, 1.2, 0.9, 3], 'animal': ['pig', 'rabbit', 'pig', 'pig', 'rabbit'] }) df.hist(column='length', by='animal', bins=5, xrot=0);

Problem description

The setting xrot=0 doesn't work when I use the option by in DataFrame.hist() (see the screenshot below). The temporary workaround is to set it to a very small value like xrot=0.001.
