This might be a good feature request to make (if it hasn't already...):

I would like to add one caveat, however. There are some cases where one
would want to include the bounding boxes of the invisible artist elements in
determining the axes limits. A particular use case would be animations. I
believe that matplotlib would be best served by having a simple option
available to let the user determine if they want to include invisible
artists or not.
