You can turn off the rendering of the normal axes and axis, and clip
your data to an arbitrary patch or path; eg


    """
    Clipping to arbitrary patches and paths
    """
    import numpy as np
    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    import matplotlib.path as path
    import matplotlib.patches as patches


    fig = plt.figure()
    ax = fig.add_subplot(111, frameon=False, xticks=[], yticks=[])

    im = ax.imshow(np.random.rand(10,10))

    patch = patches.Circle((300,300), radius=100)
    im.set_clip_path(patch)

    plt.show()
