Hi all,
I have some pcolormesh data that is in a thin strip along a slope at a (say) 45 degree angle. Is there a way to set up a view of data just within dz of the slope, following the slope? I would then stack successive views of this data. 
I tentatively tried something like:
pcm=pcolormesh(x,z,Ep,rasterized=True,cmap=jet,vmin=-13,vmax=-5)
rect = Rectangle((1,-8),10,4, facecolor="none", edgecolor="k",angle=-45)
gca().add_artist(rect)
pcm.set_clip_path(rect) 
But that doesn't clip properly. 
Note, I don't really want to rotate the data (that would be easy enough). I'd still prefer there was the sense of a slope relative to the horizontal. 
Thanks for any thoughts...
Cheers, Jody

It sounds like what you need to do is either use a masked array and mask 
out the points that are outside the limits, or use NaNs for that purpose.

Hi!
I plot measurment data and connect them with lines (style eg. "-*r"). Points
which are outside of the ylimits are still connected with points which are
inside of the ylimits. Is there any way to tell matplot to only connect two
points if both are inside the y/x-limits?
Because now i get weird lines crossing the whole canvas if some points
spread to much from the mean data.
Removing points before plotting is not an option because then points are
connected which are not in consecutive order. Matplotlib should just skip a
connecting line when one of the two points lies without the canvas/limits.
Is there any simple way/option to do tha?
Thanks in advance,
Sven
