[Matplotlib-users] Axis cuts off part of displayed graphics for default limits.

[Jeffrey Spencer]

I created this graph below but if I set the y axis upper limit to 100. 
It cuts off the top half of the dots which are at 100. I wasn't sure how 
to get the dots to show properly like now but set the y-axis upper limit 
to 100 instead of like 102. It makes the data look misleading to have 
that little tail above 100. Essentially a way to create the axis but 
offset the actual axis grid to 95% of that or any other suggestions.

Cheers

Script used to create here:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.ticker as tick
from numpy import load, sqrt, shape, size, loadtxt, transpose

def clear_spines(ax):
    ax.spines['top'].set_color('none')
    ax.spines['right'].set_color('none')
def set_spineLineWidth(ax, lineWidth):
    for i in ax.spines.keys():
        ax.spines[i].set_linewidth(lineWidth)
def showOnlySomeTicks(x, pos):
    s = str(int(x))
    if x == 5000:
        return    '5e3'#'%.0e' % x
    return ''


plt.close('all')
