Description

looking at https://mne.tools/dev/auto_tutorials/preprocessing/90_eyetracking_data.html, I was surprised at how close to the plot edges the fixations are in the calibration plot, until I noticed that the the x and y axis limits don't go all the way to zero. It might be better / less confusing if the axis limits were fixed to the dimensions of the display that was used for the calibration. @scott-huberty WDYT?

Research direction

Start with the eyetracking calibration plot shown in the preprocessing tutorial at https://mne.tools/dev/auto_tutorials/preprocessing/90_eyetracking_data.html and trace the plotting entry point used there. Check how the calibration display dimensions are available, then verify that the plot limits reflect those dimensions and no longer make fixations appear close to the edges.
