Removing label in Boxplot in Python

Question

I'm unable to remove the label "Age" under each box plot shown below. Its autogenerated and can't get rid of it. Here is my code and output:

dataset.boxplot(column=['Age'], by=None, ax=None, fontsize=None, rot=0, 
grid=True, figsize=None, layout=None, return_type=None)
plt.suptitle('Attrition by Age')
plt.xlabel('test')
plt.title('test6')
plt.subplot(121)
plt.xlabel('test2')
plt.title('test3')
plt.ylabel('test5')

enter image description here

It is the `xtick`. You can remove it by `plt.xticks([])`. – Niklas Mertsch Mar 13 '19 at 20:32 — Niklas Mertsch, Mar 13 '19 at 20:32

This is because here "Age" is not an axis label, instead it is a tick. So you can add something like this:

     plt.xticks([1], [''])

to remove the first tick. And there are many other ways to remove or change ticks. For example, this post describes how to remove ticks on different axes.
