This seems like a logically meaningful API. `ScaleBase` could implement this as a generic fallback via `limit_range_for_scale` to support existing third-party scales. But specific scales could implement their logic much more efficiently; e.g. `LinearScale` would just return `True`, and `LogScale` would return `val \u003e 0`.\n\nShould be cleaner logic and faster computation.\n\n### Proposed fix\n\nImplement and update `Axes._point_in_data_domain` to use it.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/scottshambaugh","@type":"Person","name":"scottshambaugh"},"datePublished":"2026-03-11T23:52:32.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/31286/matplotlib/issues/31286"}
