a few comments:

One possible limitation of the proposed relim code is that it doesn't take
into account whether the lines are set visible or not.  But otherwise it is
a useful function for interactive use, which incidentally is the way I use
matplotlib the most. 

Is there any reason why matplotlib doesn't have an optional additional
menubar ? You could fit far more commands than in a toolbar. 

btw as demonstrated by the qt4_editor it is not difficult to implement a
line properties dialog in matplotlib.


A feature-set that MATLAB has and is missing from matplotlib is editing the
plot via the GUI. You can actually remove lines from the plot without typing
anything in the interpreter. I think it is via a line properties menu, but
maybe you can also get there by right-clicking the line and choosing delete
(can't recall, I'll have to check).
If/when we add support for such things in mpl, the relimit button would
become much more useful.

Until we have that, I think JDH's idea for cross-GUI configurable toolbars
is a better target to aim for.
