In this post, I will share how to position the intersection of x and y axis at a specific point using Matplotlib.

In order to re-position x and y axis, we need to understand an important concept in Matplotlib —spines. According to Matplotlib documentation:

Spines are the lines connecting the axis tick marks and noting the boundaries of the data area. They can be placed at arbitrary positions. See function:set_position for more information.
