Are you using my test script but getting a different result?  If not, 
what is the difference in your test script?

def xtics(ax, start, incr):
     stop = ax.dataLim.x1 + 0.01 * incr
     ax.xaxis.set_ticks(np.arange(start, stop, incr))


Now invoke that function *after* all your plot calls, so that the 
dataLim bounding box includes all the data in your plot.
