Editing bounds to get rid of white-space within a plot in matplotlib

enter image description here![Left: Data from 2000-2040, Right: Data from 2001-2039][2]

Is there a way I can manually edit the bounds of my plot? When my x axis data runs from 2000 to 2040 matplotlib rearranges the plot such that a lot of white-space is produced on both the left and right sides of the plot, as in the left picture. However when I change my x axis data from 2001 to 2039 there is no whitespace as in the right picture. I suspect this happens because of how matplotlib automatically arranges the ticks. The question is how can the x-ticks be manipulated manually to avoid unnecessary whitespace? Any ideas?

You can use the various pyplot functions called xlim, ylim (to set the limits of the axes), xticks, yticks (to set the tick positions) etc. Read the documentation.
