No there isn't, and I think this is the first time this question has come up. Usually some clipping is desired. I doubt the need for absolutely no clipping is common enough to justify an rcParam entry. If you think there is a common use case that should be supported, though, please elaborate. Every artist has a set_clip_on() method, so to turn off all clipping you are stuck having to find all the artists and turn off clipping on each individually. Maybe something like this (untested): def noclip(ax): "Turn off all clipping in axes ax; call immediately before drawing" ax.set_clip_on(False) artists = [] artists.extend(ax.collections) artists.extend(ax.patches) artists.extend(ax.lines) artists.extend(ax.texts) artists.extend(ax.artists) for a in artists: a.set_clip_on(False) I suspect this will not necessarily take care of everything; there may be compound artists that do not define their own set_clip_on method to propagate down to the sub-artists.
