# matplotlib.axes.Axes.use_sticky_edges

`Axes.``use_sticky_edges`

  When autoscaling, whether to obey all `Artist.sticky_edges`.

  Default is `True`.

  Setting this to `False` ensures that the specified margins will be applied, even if the plot includes an image, for example, which would otherwise force a view limit to coincide with its data limit.

  The changing this property does not change the plot until `autoscale` or `autoscale_view` is called.
