However I can see why this might not be a highly required function and I'm sure there are lots of other things to do first\r\n\r\nmatplotlib offers this function ...\r\n```\r\nplt.xlim(2,5) #sets a range\r\nplt.gca().set_xlim(xmin=2) # sets only the lower x value and allows computer to work out upper value\r\nplt.gca().set_ylim(ymax=50) # sets only the lower y value and allows computer to work out upper value\r\n```","author":{"url":"https://github.com/shimwell","@type":"Person","name":"shimwell"},"datePublished":"2016-04-06T17:02:01.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":26},"url":"https://github.com/400/plotly.js/issues/400"}
