INTRO ===== please consider the following code (I'm trying to draw a timeline)
1 from matplotlib import pyplot, patches 2 fig = pyplot.figure() 3 ax = fig.add_subplot('111') 4 ax.add_patch(patches.Rectangle((1933,0.25), 73, 0.5)) 5 pyplot.show() that gives me a plot with the x axis that goes from 0.0 to 1.0, now consider ... 5 ax.set_xlim((1933,1933+73)) 6 pyplot.show() this gives me an x axis that goes _exactly_ from 1933 to 2006, eventually drawing a line superposed to the lower spine ... 5 ax.plot((1933,1933+73),(0,0)) 6 pyplot.show() gives me what I really want, that is an x axis running from 1930 to 2010, with the limits automatically rounded by matplotlib... (I noted that the extra line forces a rounding also for the y axis limits, but that's not a problem...) QUESTION ======== I want matplotlib to round the limits of the x axis automatically, when given explicitly the lower and upper limits of the data, how to?
