matplotlib set range of y axis code example
Example 1: how to set axis range matplotlib
# For a given y=time-dependent variable, x=time
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(12, 6))
ax.plot(y, label='y')
#'lower' is lower limit of the range you wanna set
#'upper' is upper limit of the range you wanna set
plt.xlim(lower, upper)
Example 2: python matplotlib hist set axis range
# Basic syntax:
plt.ylim(min,max)
plt.xlim(min,max)
# Example usage:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot(range(5))
plt.xlim(-5, 5)
plt.ylim(-5, 5)
# Note, this approach is more versatile than using range=[min,max] which
# only works in some plots, e.g. plt.hist(range(5), range=[-5,5])
