How do we hide the first zero in axes matplotlib

Question

I am trying to plot histogram.

plt.bar([1,2,3], [4,5,6],color="r",align="center")

I don't wanna plot the zero in the beginning of the axes. This ridiculous way to do it.

plt.yticks(range(len([1,2,3])),["None"]+[1,2,3])

Is there any good way to do that ?

why did you point to Google translate ? – user3378649 Dec 16 '14 at 19:59 — user3378649, Dec 16 '14 at 19:59

This is similar to this question. There isn't a much less ridiculous way to do what you're trying to do. This snippet, adapted from the linked question,

ax = plt.gca()
xticks = ax.xaxis.get_major_ticks() 
xticks[0].label1.set_visible(False)

should do the trick.

This solution does not work for the latest version of matplotlib. Use the following code to hide the origin (0) for the y-axis:

axes.yaxis.get_major_ticks()[1].label1.set_visible(False)
