I was looking for a way to set the bottom of the yrange to 0 permanently, but let the top auto-scale to the data as the data is updated.
In matplotlib, "bottom" and "top" can be set independently:
e.g. matplotlib.axes.Axes.set_ylim(bottom=0)
In pyqtgraph I found setYRange(min, max), but you have to specify both. Is there perhaps a simple workaround to only specify the bottom of the yrange, but allow the max to autoscale?
