I want the x-axis to be at the center (y=0) but it is coming out at the bottom.

```julia
using Plots
plotly()
plot([-1, 0, 1], line=(:stem, 2), m=(:red, 3), xticks=1:3, xmirror=true, yaxis=false)

```

Use the `framestyle = :origin` argument. Check [Overview · Plots](https://docs.juliaplots.org/latest/attributes/)

Thank you for the prompt reply. Did not know that keyword.  
How do you move say only the x-axis to a specific location of y?  
For example using `:origin` also moves the y-axis to zero too, which in this case does not make much sense.

I also think that framestyle should have two options: `framestyle = :xorigin` and `framestyle = :yorigin`

See workaround posted [here](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/can-i-change-axis-position-in-plots/38966/9).
