How to add space between 2 bar plot python

Question

I tried to add space between 2 bars plot.bar([value for value in range(len(y))+0.25], z, width=0.4) but it was showing error "cant convert list to float"

x = x[xleftpos:xrightpos]
y = y[xleftpos:xrightpos]
z = z[xleftpos:xrightpos]


plot.bar([value for value in range(len(x))],y,width=0.4,)

plot.bar([value for value in range(len(x))], z, width=0.4)
plot.set_xticks([idx + 0.5 for idx in range(len(x))])
plot.set_xticklabels(x, rotation=35, ha='right', size=10)
xlocs = [idx + 0.5 for idx in range(len(x))]
for i, v in enumerate(y):
    plt.text(xlocs[i] - 0.99, v - 0.98, str(v))

plt.show()

enter image description here

this code worked for me plot.bar([value for value in range(len(x))],y,width=-0.3 , align='edge') plot.bar([value for value in range(len(x))], z, width=0.3, align='edge') — Raja Sekhar Reddy Evuri

Do you want to separate the bars horizontally or vertically? For vertical separation, use `bottom:

plt.bar(range(5), range(5))
plt.bar(range(5), range(-5,0), bottom=-0.25)

Output:

Also, as you can notice, you can do plt.bar(range(len(x)), y) without list comprehension.

For horizontal shift:

plt.bar([x+.25 for x in range(5)], range(5))
plt.bar(range(5), range(-5,0), bottom=-0.25)

You can also use np.arange(5) + 0.25:

plt.bar(np.arange(5) + 0.25, range(5))
plt.bar(range(5), range(-5,0), bottom=-0.25)

Output:
