I have implemented speedups based on the copy_from_bbox() and restore_region() APIs (i.e., blit APIs) in conjunction with an Agg canvas (my destination is actually a file, not screen).
I create a bar() plot, then grab the plot with copy_from_bbox(), then I create Line2D() artists and add them using ax.add_line(). Following this, I remove the artists, restore_region() and wash, rinse, repeat().
I'm finding that the process can lead to creep in data to screen transforms, which I guess must be due to bounding box changes when I add lines that may exceed the bbox. That's my theory.
Is there a mechanism or recommended methodology to tell artists (and/or the axes they are being added to) not to recalculate anything, so that the underlying plot remains unchanged by the add()?
