Jason, This is now fixed in the svn.
http://matplotlib.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/matplotlib/trunk/matplotlib/lib/matplotlib/patches.py?r1=7840&r2=7857 Meanwhile, you may use the following workaround. import matplotlib import pylab from matplotlib.path import Path if __name__ == '__main__': pylab.clf() ax = pylab.axes([0,0,1,1]) ax.add_line(matplotlib.lines.Line2D((2, 5), (0.75, 6))) arc = matplotlib.patches.Arc((2, 0), 1.5, 1.5, 0.0, 0, 180.0, fill=False) arc._path = Path.arc(arc.theta1, arc.theta2) ax.add_patch(arc) ax.axis('equal') Note that the current pathces.Arc may update its _path during draw(). So, you may need to do arc._path = Path.arc(arc.theta1, arc.theta2) whenever correct extent of the arc is required (i.e., before calling axis).
