Hi Andrea, I think Gökhan is pointing out a different feature than the one you want. You seem to want to adjust the x and y limits of the plot to be some fraction larger than the data that's plotted. You can do this with: ax = plt.subplot(111) ax.plot(range(10)) ax.set_ymargin(.2) ax.set_xmargin(.1) # or ax.margins(.1,.2) ax.autoscale() plt.draw() see also the docstring for ax.autoscale_view for more. best, -- Paul Ivanov 314 address only used for lists, off-list direct email at: http://pirsquared.org | GPG/PGP key id: 0x0F3E28F7
