matplotlib.axes.Axes.add_collection

Axes.add_collection(collection, autolim=True)

Add a Collection to the Axes; return the collection.

Parameters:

collectionCollection

The collection to add.

autolimbool

Whether to update data and view limits.

Changed in version 3.11: This now also updates the view limits, making explicit calls to autoscale_view unnecessary.

As an implementation detail, the value "_datalim_only" is supported to smooth the internal transition from pre-3.11 behavior. This is not a public interface and will be removed again in the future.
