matplotlib.pyplot.autoscale#

matplotlib.pyplot.autoscale(enable=True, axis='both', tight=None)[source]#

Autoscale the axis view to the data (toggle).

Convenience method for simple axis view autoscaling. This:

• Turns autoscaling on or off (set_autoscalex_on / set_autoscaley_on).

• Ensures that view limits will get updated when needed. - As view limits are lazy-updated, this technically marks the view limits as stale.

Parameters:

enablebool or None, default: True

True turns autoscaling on, False turns it off. None leaves the autoscaling state unchanged.

axis{'both', 'x', 'y'}, default: 'both'

The axis on which to operate. (For 3D Axes, axis can also be set to 'z', and 'both' refers to all three Axes.)

tightbool or None, default: None

If True, first set the margins to zero. Then, this argument is forwarded to autoscale_view (regardless of its value); see the description of its behavior there.
