Hi Pierre,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

You've posted to the right mailing list - I'm sorry nobody has replied, we
have all been focussing on the latest 1.2 release and this has fallen
through the net.

Your issue looks legit, I have looked through the axes.py Axes.draw method,
and there is no filtering based on the visibility toggle for anything but
images. Seems like it could be a very easy fix, would you be willing to
open an issue on the github tracker?

Thanks again for raising this,

All the best,

Phil
