Hi,
The clip_on and clip_box arguments (and maybe clip_path also) in
plot() command seem to have no effect. For example,
In [29]: p, =plot([1,2,3], clip_on=False)
In [30]: p.get_clip_on()
Out[30]: True
It seems that the line object is created with the given arguments but
gets overwritten later when it is added to the axes (Axes.add_line),
def add_line(self, line):
'''
Add a :class:`~matplotlib.lines.Line2D` to the list of plot
lines
'''
self._set_artist_props(line)
line.set_clip_path(self.patch)
"line.set_clip_path(self.patch)" update clip_path, clip_box, and clip_on.
So, isn't it better to do something explicitly when these arguments
are ignored? Maybe to print out some warnings or even raise an
exception, or do not call set_clip_path when clip_* argument is given,
or etc.?
A slightly related behavior I found unexpected is that set_clip_path()
and set_clip_rect() method also update clip_on.
