imshow with different axes

Is there a (convenient) matplotlib(v0.60.2) equivalent to the matlab
imshow(x,y,A), where x and y are 2-tuples consisting of the bounds of the x
and y axes, respectively? I have done some limited axis manipulation using
the set_xticklabels and set_yticklabels methods, but that results in an
unattractive plot.

Thanks!
