321+ Previously some plotting methods would defer autoscaling until the
322+ first draw if only one of the *vmin * or *vmax * keyword arguments were
323+ passed (`.Axes.scatter `, `.Axes.hexbin `, `.Axes.imshow `,
324+ `.Axes.pcolorfast `) but would scale based on the passed data if
325+ neither was passed (independent of the *norm * keyword arguments).
326+ Other methods (`.Axes.pcolor `, `.Axes.pcolormesh `) always autoscaled
327+ base on the initial data.
328+
329+ All of the plotting methods now resolve the unset *vmin * or *vmax *
