Python | Y-axis Scale Limit

Y-axis Scale Limit in Python. Here, we are going to learn about the y-axis scale limit and its Python implementation, how to change the y-axis scale limit?

In some cases, we need to visualize our data within some defined range rather than the whole data. For this, we generally set the y-axis scale within a limit and this ultimately helps us to visualize better. Sometimes, it acts as zooming and a very helpful technique in data visualization. Therefore, Matplotlib has a defined function for this operation matplotlib.pyplot.ylim().

Following is an example showing a different y-axis Limit in plots using matplotlib.pyplot.

Syntax:

matplotlib.pyplot.ylim(lower_limit, upper_limit )
plt.show()
Python | Y-axis Scale Limit (1)

Python | Y-axis Scale Limit (2)

Python code for y-axis scale limit

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

x = np.arange(500)
y1 = np.arange(500)
for i in range(500):
    y1[i] = 2*x[i] + np.random.randint(0,56)

plt.figure()
plt.plot(x,y1)
plt.xlabel('Number Line')
plt.ylabel('Function')
plt.title('Whole Data')

plt.figure()
plt.plot(x,y1)
plt.ylim(-1000,2000)
plt.xlabel('Number Line')
plt.ylabel('Function')
plt.title('Limit for Y axis is Set')

Output:

Output is as figure
