Description
Adding an artist through Axes.add_artist() does not update the data limits of the plot, so autoscale does not work.
ax=gca()
circ = Circle((0,0), 5)
ax.add_patch(circ) #autoscale works for this
#ax.add_artist(circ) #autoscale does not work for this
ax.relim() # not strictly necessary
ax.autoscale(True)
plt.show()
