===================
Axis-label rotation
===================

Axis-label rotation can be controlled via e.g.
``ax.taxis.set_label_rotation_mode``.

- ``'axis'``: along the axis opposite to the corner
- ``'horizontal'``: horizontal to the figure

.. Note::
    The ``'manual'`` option is also provided. In this mode, it becomes possible
    to specify the ``Text`` properties like ``horizontalalignment``,
    ``verticalalignment``, and ``rotation`` of axis labels directly,
    which are anymore never modified automatically by mpltern.
