The values for set_ylim() and set_xlim() are the raw data values. So, if
you want to start from 10**-0.25, you do:

ax.set_ylim(bottom=10**-0.25)

Do note that once you set the limits, the auto-detection of the limits turn
off. So, it is best to issue these sorts of commands after you finish
plotting all the data.
I hope that helps!
