plt.subplots was added somewhat recently - in this instance it's
equivalent to :

fig = plt.figure()
ax = plt.subplot(1,1,1)

Ok, these were added within the past year as well. I think you
should have an older version of ax.autoscale_view which does
something similar - but it's effectively what you have done in
your original example (though I'm not sure why you want
cast everything as an int there, perhaps that's just what makes
sense for the data you have).

you can see the current code here, if you're curious:
