Axes Through Zero
Axes Through Zero
Use this when: You need to cross the axes at the origin so a value’s sign is visible, not read.
Usage
from dataviz.core.axis_position import AxisPosition
from dataviz import Plot, save
from dataviz.core.theme import Theme
def main() raises:
# Monthly change against plan, in both directions. With the axes at
# the edges the sign of a point is something you check against a
# label; with them through zero it is something you see.
