You can turn off the clipping to the axes box on a per-artist basis. Something like this: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np x = np.arange(10) y = np.ones_like(x) ll = plt.plot(x,y) # returns a sequence of line objects ll[0].set_clip_on(False) plt.axis([0,3,0,3]) plt.show() Eric > > > Charles > > ========== > > The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics...
