Re: [Matplotlib-users] axis scaling anomaly

[Gary R. <ga...@em...>]

Just a little follow-up point. The normal axis autoscaling, with "plot(t, s, 'b-')" commented out, doesn't take account of the errorbar extrema. That is, the errorbars extend beyond the autoscaled window, whereas the window should be scaled to fully contain the errorbars.

> Here's an example of my attempt to plot errorbar data with a series line of a different colour. This example reveals an anomaly with the axis scaling which may the sign of an underlying bug. If you comment out the "plot(t, s, 'b-')" line and run the example, the axes autoscale. If you run the example as is, the scaling changes for some reason.
