Jeff,
I don't see it, so you need to provide an actual example. Here is what
happens (in ipython --pylab) when I try to reproduce what it sounds like
you are describing:
In [2]: norm = Normalize(vmax=10)
In [3]: norm([-10, 10, 20])
Out[3]:
masked_array(data = [ 0. 1. 1.5],
mask = False,
fill_value = 1e+20)
In [4]: norm.vmin
Out[4]: -10.0
In [5]: norm.vmax
Out[5]: 10
This behavior is as described in the docstring.
The one potentially confusing aspect that I see at the moment is that
the Normalize class does not distinguish between explicit vmin, vmax,
and the values that it calculates via its autoscale_None method when
called. As soon as a None is replaced by an actual value, whether by
being set explicitly or by autoscaling, the replacement is permanent.
Perhaps this should be made explicit in the docstring. The docstrings
could be re-arranged to clarify the roles of the class initializer and
its __call__ method.
