One thing I've always wondered: is it fundamentally impossible to
change the fact that, in matplotlib, you cannot know how big a drawn
object will be until you actually draw it? When I was doing some
animation stuff a while back this caused me a lot of headache, for the
reasons Tony Yu mentioned: it means you have to draw everything
multiple times. It would really help if it were possible to specify
objects' parameters and get their sizes without drawing them.
