[Matplotlib-users] turning off autoscale
I'm sorry, these are questions that could be found in the Axes documentation, but I really don't feel like scrolling through 100 pages that are irrelevant hoping I can find the relevant functions, which I don't even know what they are called. Is there ever going to be a concise listing of functions? Also there seem to be a lot of undocumented functions related to bounding boxes and copying from the background--I had to find Stack Overflow examples to learn about those. What I want to do is (1) plot a couple of lines with y autoscaling and x autoscaling on (2) turn off y autoscaling so the y limits do not change further if the x limits are changed (3) change the x limits What axes functions are needed? Note that I'm not using pyplot, rather the API so I'm looking for methods of Axes.

These differ in that the first one turns y scaling off and then performs the autoscaling, while the second only turns y scaling off for any subsequent execution of the autoscale_view() method.
