Hi,
Using matplotlib.path.Path.arc to create a wedge (e.g. via
matplotlib.path.Path.wedge) creates a Path with three uninitialized vertex
positions. (The first one and the last two.)
As you would expect - sometimes this leads to nasty drawing artifacts!
I've tried zeroing the entire array and a couple of ways to just zero the
offending vertices, but they all have equal performance, so I've gone with
zeroing the entire array. It has the simplest, cleanest code, and will be more
robust to future changes.
Regards
Richard Hattersley
