this easy example from matplotlib throws the mentioned error:
https://matplotlib.org/stable/gallery/lines_bars_and_markers/barchart.html
I also cannot find any typo according to the documentation of set_xticks():
https://matplotlib.org/stable/api/_as_gen/matplotlib.axes.Axes.set_xticks.html
Can anyone provide clearification and some help, please?
Kind regards, Daniel
This is error is based on the matplotlib version you use. The set_axis command was changed from matplotlib version 3.4.x to 3.5.x.
Try using the newer version. You can install it via
$ pip install matplotlib==3.5.0
In my case I had forgotten to activate my Python virtual environment, so the interpreter was referencing an older version of matplotlib with no function named set_xticks.
Running pipenv shell before starting my script fixed the issue.
