FYI: Thanks for the help John.

This is case where having path.simplify = True causes the plot to be incorrect. 
 Attached are two different images (not quite the same data as the original 
post- but the same affect).  One with path.simplify as true and one as false.  
Notice the bottom right plot - the simplify case causes a massive change in the 
way the plot looks.

It looks like we'll be reconfiguring things for our users to make sure this is 
set to false for now.  I haven't experimented w/ the threshold argument to see 
where this kicks in.  It's definitely a function of plot size (which is 
probably expected after reading the simplify documentation).

Does anyone know if there is a good write up anywhere on the cases where having 
path.simplify=True is important?  I'll search back through the old list posts 
and see what I can find...

Subject: [matplotlib-devel] Dissapearing data?

All,

I have noticed a bizarre occurrence.  I have a fairly dense plot that when 
viewed in a large figure I can see all of the data, but as I resize the plot 
smaller I start to see some of the data disappear.  I understand that there is 
a pixel-space issue, but to someone who might not realize that their plot is 
physically too small, they might think that what they see is really true.  In 
the attached example script (with data) you can see this behavior.  When the 
plot gets small enough you never see anything reach the y value of 20.0.  I 
found this to be a little disconcerting and was wondering if I can get a 
detailed explanation as to what I am seeing.

Thanks,
--James Evans
