Re: [Matplotlib-users] Enforcing common view limits

[Jae-Joon L. <lee...@gm...>]

ax.twin returns a ParasiteAxesAuxTrans instance which is derived from
the mpl's original Axes, but only drawing-related methods are meant to
be meaningful. For example, this axes is never meant to be added to
the figure and the draw method of this axes is never meant to be
called. I haven't looked at it thoroughly but I guess the reason the
callbacks are not processed is because this axes is not added to the
figure and no set_xlim (or set_ylim) is explicitly called.
However,   consider it as a feature not a bug.

The xlim of the parasite axes is mean to be "only" changed when the
xlim of the host axes changes.  And the set_xlim (and set_ylim) method
should not be called directly on the parasite axes. Furthermore, I
don't see any reason to connect xlim_change event to the parasite
axes. If there is anything you want to do when the xlim of the
parasite axes change, just connect it to the host axes.

If there is a case that xlim_change event should be directly connected
to the parasite axes (instead of the host axes), I'll consider it as a
bug and try to fix it.
