As reported by Neal Becker on our devloper mailing list. Here's an example that reproduces the issue:

x = [3, 6, 10]
y = [1, 2, 3]
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.errorbar(x, y, 0.2)
plt.show()

The error bars on either end of the x-axis are not visible. The error bar 'feet' should be taken into account during the autoscaling process. The current state of v1.2.x produces this:

If you move the figure, you will see there is an errorbar.
It is not apparent, but I think it is not an issue.

I'm inclined to agree. The obvious solution for the user would be to add a margin (something like plt.gca().set_xmargin(0.1)).

@dmcdougall / @nbecker - do you still think the data limits should take the feet into account?

Thank pelson@pelson I was working on some sort of solutions such as color/bold the error bar to make it more "apparent".
By the way, I am working on this #568. Do you think the user should be able to plot a error bar for a single point (which means only this single point need error bar) or they need to provide a error surface for all the points in the figure.

I also find it annoying slightly: screenshot from 2016-08-06 00-52-12
Here's what R comes up with for comparison: screenshot from 2016-08-06 00-50-53

This R-like strategy of including margins is the new default for autoscaling in 2.0, which is close to being finalized. If there is an autoscaling problem with the 2.x line, please open a new issue for it.
