Bug report

Consider the following example

frompylabimport*plt.rcdefaults()fig,ax=plt.subplots()ax.plot([1,3], [5,7])ax.vlines(x=[1,2,3],ymin=0,ymax=1,transform=ax.get_xaxis_transform())plt.show()

where I want to use vlines in a manner similar to axvline, i.e. lines spanning the full axes height (but more efficiently than with repeated calls to axvline, as vlines will create a single LineCollection.

The autoscaling in the y axis incorrectly goes all the way down to include (0, 1) (coming from the call to vlines), even though these values are in axes coordinates rather than data coordinates.

In effect, Ithink this is equivalent to the suggestion at#13642 (comment).
