Syntax error Preserve padding while setting an axis limit in matplotlib

Preserve padding while setting an axis limit in matplotlib

To preserve padding while setting axis limit, we can avoid using the tight layout, i.e., plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = False.

Steps

  • Set the figure size and adjust the padding between and around the subplots.

  • Create x and y data points using numpy.

  • Plot x and y data points using plot() method.

  • Set x and y axes limit.

  • To display the figure, use Show() method.

Example

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.00, 3.50]
plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True

x = np.linspace(-10, 10, 100)
y = np.sin(x) ** 2

plt.plot(x, y)

plt.xlim([0, max(x)+0.125])
plt.ylim([0, max(y)+0.125])

plt.show()

Output

It will produce the following output −
