In Python/Seaborn, there is the option to offset the x and y axis at the origin. This 'despine' pulls the x-axis down a bit, and the y-axis left, so that data that are close to either one become more visible. This function mimics the behaviour in a matlab plot, by changing the axis limits and covering the origin of the axes with a white line.

Version Published Release Notes
2.0.0.0

Thanks to Pierre Morel and http://tinyurl.com/obtuh39, I updated the function to resize 'XRuler.Axle.VertexData' and 'YRuler.Axle.VertexData', and keeping this constant when resizing using a listener.
1.2.0.0

added a user-defined option to mask data outside range
new file
Instead of only masking parts of the axes we don't wan't, also cover this part of the data with a white area (in case xdata or ydata extend beyond current axis limits). Optimized for 4x4 subplots. Added use of plotboxpos by Kelly Kearney
