# matplotlib.artist.Artist.sticky_edges

`Artist.``sticky_edges`

  `x` and `y` sticky edge lists.

  When performing autoscaling, if a data limit coincides with a value in the corresponding sticky_edges list, then no margin will be added–the view limit “sticks” to the edge. A typical usecase is histograms, where one usually expects no margin on the bottom edge (0) of the histogram.

  This attribute cannot be assigned to; however, the `x` and `y` lists can be modified in place as needed.

  Examples

      >>> artist.sticky_edges.x[:] = (xmin, xmax)
      >>> artist.sticky_edges.y[:] = (ymin, ymax)
