You can roll out a utility function that can automatically adjust the
limits with some specified padding (i.e. the function doesn't calculate the
marker size, but you can just give it sufficient padding).
Here's an example where you specify a padding passed on the axes size (0.05
is 5% of axes height/width):
#~~~~
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
def pad_limits(pad_frac=0.05, ax=None):
ax = ax if ax is not None else plt.gca()
ax.set_xlim(_calc_limits(ax.xaxis, pad_frac))
ax.set_ylim(_calc_limits(ax.yaxis, pad_frac))
def _calc_limits(axis, frac):
limits = axis.get_data_interval()
mag = np.diff(limits)[0]
pad = np.array([-mag*frac, mag*frac])
return limits + pad
a = np.array([0.1, 0.2, 0.1])
plt.errorbar(np.arange(3), a, yerr=a-sum(a)/len(a), fmt='ro')
pad_limits()
plt.show()
#~~~~
I've put this is my personal mpl toolkit with the added ability of handling
log scales:
