Ensure vertical lines start from x-axis

I'm trying to have the points start from the x-axis (similar to a histogram)
and draw lines upwards. I've attached an image of the program output, as you
can see - there are no red lines from 0-200 on the y-axis. Any ideas how to
start them from zero?

    y_label = [0, 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200]
    plt.axes().set_xlim(xmin=datetime.datetime(1900,1,1,0,0,0,0),

    ax = p.subplot(111)
    ax.xaxis.set_major_locator(MaxNLocator(7))
    plt.gca().xaxis.set_major_formatter(DateFormatter('%M:%S'))
    plt.xlabel(x_axis)
    plt.ylabel(y_axis)
    plt.title(title)

    # Grid

    plt.grid(alpha=0.1, color='black', linestyle='-', linewidth=0.1)

It sounds like you want vlines

  Search — Matplotlib 3.8.2 documentation
  http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/axes_api.html#matplotlib.axes.Axes.vlines

Eg,

  plt.vlines(time[5300:], 0, latenc[5300:], color='red', lw=0.15)

What is the "right" way to produce date-range bars,
like the recession bars in
