JJ,

I can confirm that by calling .set_annotation_clip(False) after the creation of the object makes all the annotations appear as expected. I will amend my code until I get the latest version installed.

Just to add one more query to the thread, do you consider a point on a vertex of the axes to be a candidate for annotation without clipping? That is to say if there is a point (0,0) I wish to annotate, and the origin of the axes contains that point (0,0), would you (by design) want to be able to annotate that point?  My initial uncertainty as to why I need to have the clipping turned to False in the first instance is because I thought that if a point may fall on a any of the vertices  they still should be considered in the visible field. 

This is just a thought.

Thank you for your effort on this.

Kind Regards.,

Kurt
