This has been irritating for a long time. I have tried to look at this code too but I find it confusing. I have been reduced to writing my own code to produce axes (sometimes I need some funny things, like 2 sets of axes for a plot with two different scales). There is probably already a ticket for this but I'm not sure what it is off hand.
In general there needs to be clearer ways to override the choices that plot makes. For example, I think currently that when one specifies xmin, xmax, etc, the plot is still padded out a little, which is sometimes unacceptable. It also sometimes put the axes in the middle of the plot, sometimes on the side...ack. Maybe it would make sense to make an alternative plot command, something like "manual_plot", with more direct and fine-grained control. Doing it from scratch might be easier than changing the current code. -M.
