Hi,
I'm also new to matplotlib and am still wrestling with my figures ....
Have you tried:
axis('tight')
but that will also affect the yaxis.
Or:
set_xlim(valmin, valmax)
Don't know if it works with date though.
Good luck!

Subject: [Matplotlib-users] plot_date - extra values added that are not
inmy data
Hello,
I have been wrestling with matplotlib all evening (im completely new
to it since a few hours ago) and finally almost have my graph
finished.
There is just one thing left that I can't seem to figure out myself.
I have attached the graph for reference (hope attachments are
allowed).
It is a date plot, my data starts at 16:58:11 and ends at 17:25:14 but
for some reason I am being given ticks for a few minutes before and a
few minutes after.
Is there some kind of compress, or trim function that I can use to get
rid of these and have the axis start at my first data point and end at
my last. Or at least the nearest major tick?
Cheers
Thanks Sunnje,
xlim worked perfectly, I was already using ylim to increase the y
scale range to be up to 100 , never clicked to use the same for the
dates.
Cheers
