Hi,
I'm seeing odd behavior with the relim() and autoscale_view() call
sequence with matplotlib 1.3.1. In some cases I am ending up with
axis ranges of [-0.05,0.05] instead of the actual data ranges. This
happens with scatter plots and sometimes with contour plots.
The modified version of the scatter_demo2 below displays the
problem. I think this used to work for scatter plots with earlier
versions of matplotlib. Is this supposed to work or is there another
way to do it correctly (other than doing our own limit setting)?
Thanks,
Stuart

Why are you trying to use relim() here? It does not support collections, and scatter produces a collection. It doesn't find any Artists that it knows about, so it assumes nothing has been added to the plot, and it yields a generic set of limits.
