I am new to matplotlib and this video helped a lot with my very first project. Thank you datagy for making programming less scary! :) One question though, how can I rotate the text on the x axis?

Hi, was wondering, how do you increase the graph size as i have a relatively large categories of horizontal bars, tried using '"figsize" but doesnt work :(
