Feature Request: start x labels from 0 (instead of 1) for line and scatter plots

[Chareste]

why don't they start from 0? If I'm giving you elements from a list, I want list[0] to be correctly placed in the 0 position. it shifts all the results by 1 and it's bad.

Hello,
thanks for reporting. I am not quite involved in the project for now.

Try something like this:

import plotext as plt
data = [3,5,6,8]
l = len(data)
plt.plot(range(l), data)
plt.show()

I have not tested it but should work. The default behaviour shifts to 1 so that for example a bar plot (without the x labels provided) would start from 1 as well on the x axis. If the first bar is labelled 0, it would be awkward.

Perhaps I could create a function that changes this default behaviour? Or applies it only for bar plot? Any idea?

Thanks and all the best
Savino

Hello @Chareste,

I am back on plotext, sorry for late reply. Are you still interested?

Just to update and apologise: I have been quite busy rewriting the package from ground up and will update.
