Be sane about axis limits when over-plotting about corner.py HOT 8 CLOSED

how do I set the limits for a corner plot? I can't find it in the documentation.

from corner.py.

Yes. I manually set the limits, but that's not ideal. Thanks!

Right now, it hard sets the limits to the range of the last set of
samples that are plotted. This isn't very useful. You can hack this by
using the extent keyword but it would probably be good to default to
something better... like only letting the limits get bigger. Eh? [image:

I'm probably not going to fix this... anything I can think of ends up being a big hack! I think we just ned to stick to manually assigning limits.

I think that's right: manually assigning limits is the only sane thing to
do when overplotting.

@ljschumacher @emilylurice @dfm Any advice on how to set limits (also can't find it in the docs)?

from corner.py.

Just checked my code and here is what I did to set the x-axes of plots to be the same – the indexing is ugly and could be done better
`fig = corner.corner(posterior_samples,
labels=something)
maxrate = np.round(np.max(np.max(posterior_samples, axis=0)))

for rowi in range(ndim):
    for coli in range(ndim):
        if rowi == coli:
            fig.axes[rowi*ndim+coli].set_xlim(0, maxrate)`

@jtlz2: I believe that the issue discussed here has been fixed for several releases so can you be clearer about what you mean by "limits" here? If there is a bug, please open a new issue.

from corner.py.

@dfm - Fair point - I will open a new issue now :)
