I'm a newbie to Matplotlib but a longtime gnuplot user.
Using the matlab module, what is the right way to
set xzeroaxis
(using gnuplot terminology). Using axis and hline seems
cumbersome, so I assume there is a better way to implement
this common need.
Thank you,
Alan Isaac
MATLAB doesn't have anything similar, AFAIK, but the following will
work:
def xzeroaxis(form='k'): # draw a line at y=0 on the current plot
v=axis()
plot(v[0:2],[0,0],form)
def yzeroaxis(form='k'):
v=axis()
plot([0,0],v[2:4],form)
Is this worth adding to the distribution? I doubt it is general enough
to warrant.
John: when I do the following:
v=arange(-5,5)
plot(v,v**3)
xzeroaxis()
yzeroaxis()
the vertical line at x=0 doesn't quite go to top and bottom of the
plot. This is with 0.62.4.

I've accomplished this feature via:
ax = axis()
set(gca(). hlines([0.], ax[0], ax[1])[0], linewidth=1)
I don't remember why I did it this way instead of just plotting. Maybe I thought is was more clever.
Does this method avoid auto-scaling?
