[Matplotlib-users] Plotting points on images - axes problems

[Robert S. <si...@us...>]

Hi,

Using matplotlib 0.87.2, I've been trying to plot points on top of an 
image.  The image without points fills axes of the extent requested, 
but using plot to add a point on top of the image changes the axes 
lengths and gives unwanted white margins around the edges.  Here's an 
example.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

from pylab import *

# Sample image.
image = rand(12,6)

# This choice for extent works fine... It produces no white margins.
#extent = [-80, 60, -60, 40]

# This choice gives unwanted white margins,
#   except when no point is plotted.
extent = [-80.,64., -74.,48.]

ax1 = axes()
ax1.im = imshow(image, origin='lower', extent=extent)

# Plot point on image.
hold(True)
ax1.plot([0.0],[0.0],'wo')

show()
