This is driving me nuts. I recall using ContourPlot a while back and
finding an option to eliminate the 'padding' around the plot (i.e.,
between the plot and the frame), but can't find my previous work.
Grrr...

Does anyone know what option I'm thinking of? (And do you know if it
will also work for DateListPlot?)

Hi,

you mean PlotRangePadding

data = FinancialData["GE", {2000, 1, 1}];
DateListPlot[data, Joined -> True, Filling -> Bottom,
PlotRangePadding -> None]

Cheers
Patrick

Thanks to David and Patrick, that did the trick. :)

Chris also replied with the following (alternate) solution, leading to
yet another question:

DateListPlot[FinancialData["BP.L", "Jan. 1, 2003"], Joined -> True,
PlotLabel -> "BP (BP.L)",
PlotRange -> {{AbsoluteTime[{2003, 1, 1}], Automatic}, {0,
Automatic}},
ImageSize -> 700, Filling -> Bottom]

Can someone explain why DateListPlot would be set up to behave like
this? I mean, after having already given an explicit list of plot
points and exact dates (in the problem I was working on), this
behavior seems somewhat redundant.
