There is no analogous command, despite many requests such as yours. Recipes for getting this effect have been posted to the list, though. See also http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/manual_axis.html. Making axes more flexible, to handle your case and others such as axes crossing in the middle of a figure, is on the wish list, but turns out to require quite a bit of work--more than one might expect.
