I suppose some clipping should happen in the backend itself.\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/elenril","@type":"Person","name":"elenril"},"datePublished":"2013-03-26T18:55:18.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":3},"url":"https://github.com/1857/matplotlib/issues/1857"}
