You need to adjust the positions of the ticks. bar command (by default) creates boxes so that their left side corresponds the first argument.
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/pyplot_api.html#matplotlib.pyplot.bar so, in your case, something like below will work (0.4 from 0.8/2 where 0.8 is the default width of the bar). axes.set_xticks([x+0.4 for x in indx]) Alternatively, bars can be center-aligned. See the docs for more, Also, take a look at the example below (there are bunch of other examples in the gallery) http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/bar_stacked.html -JJ On Tue, Aug 18, 2009 at 1:29 PM, Werner F.
