Spine Placement
Spine placement
===============

Adjusting the location and appearance of axis spines.
The position of the axis spines can be influenced using `~.Spine.set_position`.

Note: If you want to obtain arrow heads at the ends of the axes, also check
out the :doc:`/gallery/spines/centered_spines_with_arrows` example.
