So since I wanted some space on the borders of my graph, I did this
really extremely convoluted thing, which apparently works...
I get a 10% more area on each side, but I'm quite sure there's a better
way to this, right?

I didn't find any function to pass an increment to the size that's why I
did this mess...

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
        old_axes = plt.axis()
        sizes = old_axes[1] - old_axes[0], old_axes[3] - old_axes[2]
        offset = lambda x: int((float(x) / 10))
        new_axes = []

        for i in range(len(old_axes)):
            new_val = old_axes[i] + (((-1) ** (i + 1)) * offset(sizes[i % 2]))
            new_axes.append(new_val)

        plt.axis(new_axes)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
