matplotlib axis limit

Question

I want to set a 'minimum' axis limit - in other words, I want to set_ylim([0, 30]), but adding point at y = 40 would have the axis grow to accommodate it. Is there any combination of limits and autoscaling that could achieve this for me?

Can you post a simple self contained sample that exhibits the incorrect behavior? — ditkin

this is what matplotlib does for me by default... (Python 2.6.5, matplotlib 0.99.1.1, Ubuntu Linux) — weronika

set_ylim(ymin=0)

Documentation.

Interesting, the API recently changed to bottom and top:

set_ylim(bottom=0)

although ymin and ymax are still legal.
