Right, which is what I was trying to get at in the following:

  While this may not solve your case, because it looks like you may be
  exceeding the rendering complexity with data in the viewport, the
  design pattern may help inspire to you to write a custom class to
  handle adaptively decimating your data so you can still see a sketch
  of your data when panned out, but nonethless get the full detail when
  zoomed in.

What I was trying to point out is you can hook into the event handling
/ callback mechanism to do *custom* level of detail clipping based on
viewport or some other feature if the default simplification is not
adequate.  Along these lines Ivan, you may want to take a look at the
event handling tutorial

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/event_handling.html

Perhaps we should wework the example to do something more useful that
is not already handled better by path simplification.
