If you change the data directly, and want mpl to autoscale, you need
to call ax.relim() before calling ax.autoscale_view(). mpl stores the
min/max of the data you add to it when you add the lines, rectangles,
etc to the figure. When you update the data directly, there is no
internal mechanism to notify the limits to update (we could add this
but haven't). So you must explicitly call relim, which tells mpl to
reinspect the data recalculate the limits. It might be a better
design to have each artist store its limits, updating them when data
is updated, and then having the container artists, eg the Axes, do a
union of the child bboxes. But this is not the design we have
currently.
Hope this helps,
