This has nothing to do with OOP, you just need to know what
command/function/method does what you want. It happens that in
matplotlib plots are autoscaled by default but not tightly. You can
change this behavoir using autoscale. There is a functional version
pyplot.autoscale but for scripting is usually better the
axes.autoscale version because it make explicit in your code which
axes is affected. For interactive plotting, the functional version may
be more convenient.

Matplotlib automatically choose a formatter for labels, based on the
interval to plot and the like. If you don't like it, use your own.
Maybe this:
import matplotlib.dates as mdates
formatter = mdates.DateFormatter('%d-%b-%y-%H:%M:%S')
axes.xaxis.set_major_formatter(formatter)
