All,

I have stumbled upon a (for me) unexpected behaviour of axvspan().


import matplotlib.pylab as plt
from numpy import *

x = arange(1000)
y = 0.2*sin(0.02*x)

ax = plt.axes()
plt.axvspan(250, 400, facecolor='g', alpha=0.2)
plt.plot(x,y)
plt.show()


The displayed y range is -0.2 to 1, while from the sine amplitude I 
would have expected -0.2 to 0.2. The expected y range can be obtained by 
omitting the axvspan() call and also if it is called *after* plot().

Is this the desired behaviour, especially in view of the dependence on 
the call order?

__version__ is 1.1.0

Cheers,
Joachim
