[Matplotlib-users] using .set_clip_path methods

[Denis-Alexander E. <den...@gm...>]

Dear list,

I'm having a very simple use case where I want to clip an image using
normalized xy coordinates.
Here 0, 0 would be the middle of the X and Y axes and the radius would be
0.5.
For some reason reason the following code does not achieve what I want:

Instead of masking the area outside of the circle everything is masked.
It seems as if the clipping workflow would not accept normalized positions
but inches or pixels instead.
I've been looking for a unit parameter to set the coord system type or
something similar but I haven't been successful.

Any hint would be highly appreciated.

Best,
Denis
