setting y-axis limit in matplotlib

Question

I need help with setting the limits of y-axis on matplotlib. Here is the code that I tried, unsuccessfully.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.figure(1, fi         


        

Answer 1

One thing you can do is to set your axis range by yourself by using matplotlib.pyplot.axis.

matplotlib.pyplot.axis

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
plt.axis([0, 10, 0, 20])

0,10 is for x axis range. 0,20 is for y axis range.

or you can also use matplotlib.pyplot.xlim or matplotlib.pyplot.ylim

matplotlib.pyplot.ylim

plt.ylim(-2, 2)
plt.xlim(0,10)
