I did a little digging and I discovered a function I never noticed
before... You can set a "margin" for an axis that can be used for
autoscaling purposes.
set_ymargin(self, m) method of matplotlib.axes.AxesSubplot instance
Set padding of Y data limits prior to autoscaling.
*m* times the data interval will be added to each
end of that interval before it is used in autoscaling.
accepts: float in range 0 to 1
So, in your code, if I set ymargin to 0.5, then the limits will
automatically be -0.5 to 1.5.
I think this is what you are looking for.
