[Matplotlib-users] How to apply ax.margins to current axes limits?

[Jack Yu]

Is there a way to use ax.margins to adjust the axes limits, after the axes
limits have already been adjusted using ax.set_ylim? It appears that
ax.margins has effect only if ax.set_ylim has not been used.

This notebook
http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/qap/python_examples/blob/matplotlib/matplotlib/matplotlib_axmargins.ipynb

describes a situation in which this need may arise.

Note: the y-axis is just an example, the same also applies to the x-axis (
ax.set_xlim).
