title: Python - x axis labels and ticks
body: <p>I have an array of data (length of 365, Max temperature for each day of year).
  I am making a simple line plot with days of year on x-axis and temperature value on the y-axis. The snippet of relevant code is below with the output image. </p>
  
  <pre><code>fig = plt.figure()
  temp_data = temp_total[:]
  plt.plot(temp_data-273.15)
  plt.ylabel('Temperature (C)',size=12)
  plt.xlabel('Day of Year',size=12)
  </code></pre>

  <p>Instead of the x-axis having ticks for each day of the year, I would like to plot each month on the x-axis. Jan, Feb, Mar, etc. </p>
  
  <p>I have not found anything that works yet. Any suggestions?</p>
