How to rotate x-axis tick lables in Seaborn scatterplot using subplots

Question

How can I rotate the x-axis tick labels in a Seaborn scatterplot that is plotted using subplots?

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib import gridspec
import seaborn as sns
sns.set_context("talk", font_scale=1.4) 
  
df = pd.DataFrame({'id': ['aaaaaaa','bbbbbb1','bbbbbb2','ccccc','dddddd','eeeee'],
                   'y': [7,2,5,8,3,7],
                   'cat': ['X','Y','Y','X','Z','X']
                  })
display(df)

fig, (ax1, ax2) = plt.subplots(1, 2, sharey=True, figsize=(8,4),
                               gridspec_kw=dict(width_ratios=[2, 1]),
                              )

g1 = sns.scatterplot(data=df,
                    x='id', y='y', hue='cat',
                    s=200, ax=ax1, legend=False,
                   )

g2 = sns.histplot(data=df, y='y', 
                  hue='cat', ax=ax2, binwidth=2, 
                  multiple='stack', legend=False,
                 )

I have tried the following without any success:

1. g1.xticks(rotation = 90) and ax1.xticks(rotation = 90) both return
   AttributeError: 'AxesSubplot' object has no attribute 'xticks'
2. g1.set_xticklabels(g1.get_xticklabels(), rotation = 90) based on the question here, but this removes all the tick labels

Answer 1

For some reason it looks like the labels are lost in the Seaborn-Matplotlib ether.

labels = [item.get_text() for item in g1.get_xticklabels()]
print(labels)

returns a list of blanks: ['', '', '', '', '', '']

So I must remake the labels: g1.set_xticklabels(df['id'].tolist(), rotation = 90)

And confirming it works:

labels2 = [item.get_text() for item in g1.get_xticklabels()]
print(labels2)
>>['aaaaaaa', 'bbbbbb1', 'bbbbbb2', 'ccccc', 'dddddd', 'eeeee']
