That's because the first command draws the plot, and when inlined, further changes within the cell aren't propagated to the plot. > I guess there is no setting, that will allow setting MPL to automatically > adjust default plot window - add padding if bars (which can also be lines or > points as in example) are drawn on axes; trim window if if there is no data > to plot instead trimming based on grid range; and similar intuitive > expectation For inline ipython, you want to switch to the object-oriented use of pylab. Something like this should work with xlim. a = [0.1, 0.2, 0.1] fig = plt.figure() ax = fig.add_subplot(111) ax.errorbar(arange(3), a, yerr=a-sum(a)/len(a), fmt='ro') ax.set_xlim(-.5,2.5) ax.show() I'm not aware of automatic settings for padding, but with this set_xlim, it's easy enough to roll your own using the data limits.
