PR summary

  • This PR is to address [Bug]: Missing axes limits auto-scaling support for LineCollection #29219, which addresses the missing auto-scaling support for LineCollection objects.
  • The lack of this feature requires users to manually call ax.autoscale() when adding a LineCollection to an Axes.
  • The PR adds the autoscale inside Axes.add_collection() function to ensure that the scaling is done automatically, without having to call ax.autoscale()

With the change, the following code:

from matplotlib.collections import LineCollection

lc = LineCollection([[(x, x ** 2) for x in range(5)]])
ax = plt.gca()
ax.add_collection(lc)
plt.show()

Thank you for your PR, and sorry it did not get much interaction. Unfortunately, this has been fixed by #29958 already, so it will not be needed. We hope this does not discourage you from future contributions, if you so wish.
