Bug report

As already stated in thisstack overflow thread, when drawing arrows with the arrow()-method, the scale of the plot is not adjusted as expected. A workaround is to set the limits of the plot manually or to plot additional, invisible points near the arrows.

Code for Reproducing the bug

importmatplotlib.pyplotaspltimportmatplotlibimportsysprint(matplotlib.__version__)print(sys.version)fig,ax=plt.subplots()#ax.set_xlim(0, 5)#ax.set_ylim(0, 5)ax.arrow(1,1,1,1)plt.show()

Output:

3.0.13.7.0 (default, Oct  9 2018, 10:31:47) [GCC 7.3.0]

Outcome with setting limits manually

I installed matplotlib by using anaconda.

I didn't specify a channel, so I guess it was the main channel.
