healpy.projaxes.CartesianAxes.set_ylim

CartesianAxes.set_ylim(bottom=None, top=None, emit=True, auto=False, **kw)

Call signature:

set_ylim(self, *args, **kwargs):

Set the data limits for the yaxis

Examples:

set_ylim((bottom, top))
set_ylim(bottom, top)
set_ylim(bottom=1) # top unchanged
set_ylim(top=1) # bottom unchanged

Keyword arguments:

bottom: scalar

The bottom ylim; the previous name, ymin, may still be used

top: scalar

The top ylim; the previous name, ymax, may still be used

emit: [ True | False ]

Notify observers of limit change

auto: [ True | False | None ]

Turn y autoscaling on (True), off (False; default), or leave unchanged (None)

Note, the bottom (formerly ymin) value may be greater than the top (formerly ymax). For example, suppose y is depth in the ocean. Then one might use:

set_ylim(5000, 0)

so 5000 m depth is at the bottom of the plot and the surface, 0 m, is at the top.

Returns the current ylimits as a length 2 tuple

ACCEPTS: length 2 sequence of floats
