Matplotlib x标签被压在一起

Question

I've set my matplotlib graph's x-label format to DateFormatter('%Y-%m'). My problem is that I have so many dates that they're all squished together into what's starting to look like a black rectangle under my graph. Can I set it to not display every label? For example if it only displayed ever fifth date people will still be able to visualize what's in-between. If there are other ways to fix this I'd love to know them also.

Thanks

You can look at this post matplotlib: how to prevent x-axis labels from overlapping each other

But the short answer is to adjust the frequency of the tic marks.
