setting y-axis limit in matplotlib

Question

I need help with setting the limits of y-axis on matplotlib. Here is the code that I tried, unsuccessfully.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.figure(1, fi         


        

Answer 1

Your code works also for me. However, another workaround can be to get the plot's axis and then change only the y-values:

x1,x2,y1,y2 = plt.axis()
plt.axis((x1,x2,25,250))
