Maybe what you want is xtick_labels()? xticks() merely tells mpl where on the x-axis you want ticks to show up. xtick_labels() will tell mpl what to label each tick (but won’t change how many there are and where they are placed).

One more thing if possible: How can I tell xticks() to start at 0 (at x-axis start)
Hm.. it not within matplotlib.pyplot module... needs more digging
OK, thanks

Sorry, I am used to working from the axes objects, not from the pyplot interface. Most of the axes methods are available to pyplot, but it looks like Axes.set_xticklabels() is not available to pyplot.
But honestly, I think you are making this harder than it is. The line being drawn starts at (0, 0) coordinates. The plot is correct, and I am not sure what you are trying to acheive.

I want to plot multiple plot lines, and would prefer lines to start at
x-axis beginning (so they "source" vertically from y-axis)
If I use suggested method from current replies lines would not start
from x-axis beginning, but I guess I'll need to look in Axes module
and make my preferences.
Thanks

Or you could set the x-axis limits…

Yes, that seems the right way
I used it before but forgot it in the mean time
