[racket] Plot question: discrete-histogram with error-bars
error-bars does not work with discrete-histogram in a convenient way. I've mostly worked around it by computing the x coordinate for where each error bar will go, but providing a number instead of the histogram's "category" introduces a new axis that gets rendered with my histogram's categories. It doesn't really make sense to show those numbers.
As a stopgap measure before error-bars (or discrete-histogram) is fixed, how do I tell plot to not render the error-bar's x axis?
I've attached what a plot looks like with and without error bars to illustrate the problematic output.
Thanks,

Here is a snippet of the rendering code I'm using.
(define (get-numbers tag sel)
(define (scale x) (if (number? x) x 0))
(for*/list ([(name numbers) (in-hash timings)]
[n (in-value (hash-ref numbers tag))])
(list name
(scale (average-vec (sel n)))
(scale (stddev-vec (sel n))))))
(define (bench-plot sel y-label x-label out-file)
(plot
(for/fold ([plots '()])
([(tag algo) (in-dict algo-name)]
[i (in-naturals)])
(define numbers* (get-numbers tag sel))
(define skip 5.5)
(define error
;; For current algo, give error bars for each benchmark.
(error-bars (for/list ([x numbers*] [m (in-naturals)])
(list (+ 1/2 i (* m skip))
(second x)
(third x)))
#:x-min i
#:color -7))
(list* error
(discrete-histogram (for/list ([x numbers*]) (list (first x) (second x)))
#:label algo
#:skip skip #:x-min i
#:style (add1 (* 2 i))
#:color -7 #:line-color "black"
#:line-style i)
plots))
#:y-label y-label
#:x-label x-label
#:legend-anchor 'top-left
#:out-file out-file))
(define (do-with-params thunk)
(parameterize ([plot-font-size 20]
[plot-x-tick-label-anchor 'top-right]
[plot-x-tick-label-angle 60]
[line-color "black"]
[interval-color "black"]
[interval-line1-color "black"]
[interval-line2-color "black"]
[plot-width (* 2 (plot-width))])
(thunk)))
