Just to elaborate on what Ben said, all matplotlib artists have a "set"
method. E.g.:
ax.set(xlim=[min, max], ylim=[min, max], xlabel='blah')
"plt.setp" basically just calls "set", but it will also operate on
sequences of artists. Therefore you can do things like:
fig, axes = plt.subplots(nrows=2, ncols=2)
plt.setp(axes.flat, aspect=2, ...)
Some people prefer the "Tk-style" set method to using "setp" if you're
operating on a single artist.
Keep in mind that it also works for other artists, not just axes. At any
rate, "setp" and the "set" method are certainly handy to know about!
