imlim in ax.imshow

Interestingly, providing the extent does not help using subplots.
And your way of creating the subplots does not have the bug in the first place. Removing the extent parameter from this still plots fine.

How nice of you to ask! :wink:
Indeed: I had the case that image arrays inside an ImageGrid where
shown with some white overhead area around, e.g. for an image of 100
pixels on the x-axis, the imshow resulted in an x-axis that went from
-10 to 110. I was looking for a simple way to suppress that behavior
and let imshow instead use the exact image extent. I believe that the
plot command has such a flag, hasn't it? (I.e. to use the exact xdata
range and not try to beautify the plot?

Is the 'extent' keyword what you're looking for?

No, because it needs detail. I was looking for a boolean switch that
basically says: Respect the data, not beauty.

I don't understand what you mean by 'beauty'. If your image is 100
pixels wide and 50 pixels tall, what is it about extent=[0,100,0,50]
that doesn't do what you want?

As I wrote, that's not what is happening. I get extent=[-10,110,0,50].

The following script works for me:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

image = np.random.random((100,50))

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(1, 1, 1)
ax.imshow(image, extent=[0,100,0,50])
plt.show()

I think the problem is that Michael is using ImageGrid, and apparently
it is not using the tight autoscaling that imshow normally uses by default.

I might have confused where I had the problem as I was trying out many
a'things yesterday, so today I only can reproduce it with subplots. Can
I activate tight autoscaling somehow? tight_layout only influences the
axes towards each-other not the imshows itself.

I think you may have encountered a bug, as Ben pointed out. Here's a workaround:

import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('macosx')
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from numpy import arange, array

arr = arange(10000).reshape(100,100)
l = [arr,arr,arr,arr]
narr = array(l)

axes =
fig = plt.figure()
for i in range(4):
    axes.append(fig.add_subplot(2, 2, i))

for ax, im in zip(axes, narr):
    ax.imshow(im, extent=[0,100,0,100])

plt.show()
