title: matplotlib: disregard outliers when plotting
body: <p>I'm plotting some data from various tests. Sometimes in a test I happen to have one outlier (say 0.1), while all other values are three orders of magnitude smaller. </p>
  
  <p>With matplotlib, I plot against the range <code>[0, max_data_value]</code></p>
  
  <p>How can I just zoom into my data and not display outliers, which would mess up the x-axis in my plot?</p>
  
  <p>Should I simply take the 95 percentile and have the range <code>[0, 95_percentile]</code>  on the x-axis?</p>
