# Invert Axes

You can use decreasing axes by flipping the normal order of the axis limits

    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    import numpy as np

    t = np.arange(0.01, 5.0, 0.01)
    s = np.exp(-t)
    plt.plot(t, s)

    plt.xlim(5, 0)  # decreasing time

    plt.xlabel('decreasing time (s)')
    plt.ylabel('voltage (mV)')
    plt.title('Should be growing...')
    plt.grid(True)

    plt.show()
