matplotlib set axis range code example

Example 1: set axis limits matplotlib

axes.set_xlim([xmin, xmax])
axes.set_ylim([ymin, ymax])

Example 2: 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 3: 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])

Example 4: plot bounds python

plt.xlim([25, 50])

Example 5: set axis plt python

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
plt.axis([0, 10, 0, 20])

Example 6: plot bounds python

ax.set_ylim([-1, 0])
