To set a limit on the x-axis (i.e. the domain), use the xlim(~) method:


        
        
            
                
                
                    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.plot([1,2,3])
plt.xlim(0,4)
plt.show()

The result is as follows:

Notice how the x-axis goes from 0 to 4, as specified.

Alternatively you can use the set_xlim(~) method:


        
        
            
                
                
                    fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.set_xlim(0,4)

This produces the following output:
