I’m trying to rotate the xtick labels using `Plots.jl`  
I have tried

```julia
fo = font(10, "Courier")
fo.rotation = 90
plot(randn(10), xtickfont=fo) # Does nothing

plot(randn(10), rotation = 90) # Rotates also ytick labels which I do not want.

```

Any idea how to rotate only `xtickfont`?

It seems the keyword argument `xrotation = 90` does the trick. This keyword does not seem to appear on the attributes page [Overview · Plots](http://docs.juliaplots.org/latest/attributes/)
