Indenting within a section

Question

I am working on my matplotlibwidget, which I created using QtDesigner.

When I draw my control points in my plot, they are mostly located on the border or cross axes. Which is not very familiar to me.

So my question is: how can I say matplotlib to add some kind of “inner padding” between the borders of the graph and the test points. So, for example, if my minimum value is "500", I would like to build a left border of about 400, so there is some margin between the smallest point and the border.

Thank you in advance!

plt.margins can be used to set up automatic completion of your data, as shown below.

 import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np x = np.arange(10) y = np.power(x, 3) plt.plot(x, y, 'ro') # Create a 5% (0.05) and 10% (0.1) padding in the # x and y directions respectively. plt.margins(0.05, 0.1) plt.show() 

If you had a minimum value of 500 and wanted the border to be around 400 , then you can choose the x-margin percentage from 0.2 , as in plt.margins(0.2, 0.2) .
