Comandos set_xlim, set_ylim, set_zlim no matplotlib falham ao copiar dados exibidos

Estou construindo uma GUI com o Tkinter e o ttk e usando o matplotlib para criar gráficos interativos - mais uma vez, como milhões de outras pessoas fazem. Mesmo que a maioria dos problemas que encontrei até agora estejam bem documentados, este parece ser raro:

Ao plotar em 3d e ajustar a escala do eixo comset_lim() comandos depois, a linha plotada excede o sistema de coordenadas que não parece bom. Além disso, eu não estou feliz com o quadro que parece ser um pouco pequeno. Aqui está um exemplo:

# Missmatch.py
"""Graphical User Interface for plotting the results
calculated in the script in Octave"""

# importing libraries
import matplotlib, ttk, threading
matplotlib.use('TkAgg')
import numpy as nm
import scipy as sc
import pylab as pl
import decimal as dc
from matplotlib.backends.backend_tkagg import FigureCanvasTkAgg, NavigationToolbar2TkAgg
from matplotlib.figure import Figure
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D
from oct2py import octave as oc
import Tkinter as tki

class CS:
    """CS - Controlset. This part creates the GUI with all important
    Elements. Major changes and calculations will be executed 
    in the Calculation-Class in a seperate thread. This prevents the 
    GUI from hanging"""

    def __init__(self,parent):
        """Building the main GUI"""
        self.ThisParent=parent
        ### Entire Window
        # Mainframe that contains everything.
        self.main=tki.Frame(parent) 
        # Pack manager to expand the mainframe as the windowsize changes.
        self.main.pack(fill=tki.BOTH, expand=tki.YES)
        # Configure the grid of the mainframe so that only the top left
        # cell grows if the users expands the window.
        self.main.grid_rowconfigure(0, weight=1)
        self.main.grid_rowconfigure(1, weight=1)


        ### Canvas for drawings
        # Creating a figure of desired size
        self.f = Figure(figsize=(6,6), dpi=100)
        # Creating a canvas that lives inside the figure

        controlset.a = controlset.f.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')
        controlset.a.clear()
        controlset.a.plot(self.x,self.y,self.z)
        controlset.a.mouse_init()
        controlset.a.set_xlabel('X')
        controlset.a.set_ylabel('Y')
        controlset.a.set_zlabel('Z')
        controlset.a.set_title('Title')
        controlset.Paper.show()
        return


mainw=tki.Tk()
mainw.title("Example")
mainw.geometry('+10+10')
controlset=CS(mainw) 
#for this example code, we run our Calculate3D class automatically
CL=Calculate3D()
CL.run()

mainw.mainloop()

Basta executar o código e apertar o botão "SET". Existe o meu problema.
