Either slanted markers, or Line2D with transform=IdentityTransform() (... plus some translation) to be in pixel space, I guess. |
| ax2.plot((1 - d, 1 + d), (1 - d, 1 + d), **kwargs) # bottom-right diagonal | ||
| d = .5 # proportion of vertical to horizontal extent of the slanted line | ||
| kwargs = dict(marker=[(-1, -d), (1, d)], markersize=12, | ||
| linestyle="none", color='k', mec='k', mew=1, clip_on=False) |

perhaps use mew=rcParams["axes.linewidth"] here? 1 looks a bit thick (the rc value is 0.8).

Unfortunately the default of 0.8 looks not so nice when not being straight (for the default dpi and pixel output)
Hence I chose to keep 1.

I actually think 0.8 looks better than 1 (hence the suggestion) but am fine with your choice too.

I'm not currently up to date as to which branch documentation should go to. So maybe someone who knows can merge. |

recent doc prs were milestoned as 3.3, so let's put this here too. |
PR Summary
The broken axis example should use markers for the slanted lines that denote the "axis break" instead of lines. This will make the example usable independent on the actual axis size; e.g. if the break does not occur in the middle of the axis.
(The problem was initially brought up in this Stackoverflow issue)
