Python manually define matplotlib xlim()

I want to put an array of words in xlim( [ ] ) in place of a range of numbers. using normal python and matplotlib.

Like this:

ax.set_xlim(['week1', 'week2', 'week3', 'week4', 'week5', 'week6', 'week7', 'week8', 'week9', 'week10'])

What is the best way to achieve this?

You want matplotlib.pyplot.xticks. Something like:

# set the locations and labels of the xticks
plt.xticks( arange(10), ('week1', 'week2', 'week3', 'week4', 'week5', 'week6', 'week7', 'week8', 'week9', 'week10') )

Where instead of arange(10), you want an array of the x values of your data.
