Sadly each keyword is handled manually in lib/matplotlib/contour.py L690
which is why you can set keywords which are completely ignored without
getting any warning/exception.
We could add a set_clip_path keyword in that constructor, but in truth the
whole keyword handling approach in contour.py cou
Actually, sorry for the triple post, but is there a reason why we can't do
something like pass in the keyword arguments directly from the call to
contourf when instantiating each collection? Then the keyword arguments for
contourf (and ContourSet) could be used for the collections directly,
includi
Actually, it seems I have partially answered my own question. Since I am
calling axis('off'), I do not notice the effect of clipping the other
artists since I made a call to axis('off'). Without it the spines and axes
rectangle are still removed but the ticks are still visible. I suppose this

Hi Phil,
Thanks, that is more or less what I was looking for. However, I still think
that generalizing this approach for other types of plotting functions that
don't return artists directly would be useful. Your solution gave me
another idea for doing this, which would be to iterate through all of
Great question. The contour set itself does not have a set_clip_path method
but you can iterate over each of the contour collections and set their
respective clip paths, i.e.:
cs = plt.contourf(data)
for collection in cs.collections:
collection.set_clip_path(poly)
Of course, you can use this
Hi all,
I want to be able to plot data on maps (using basemap or cartopy) inside
specific regions, eg a single state, province or country. A similar
question was asked a long time ago on the mailing list and the suggested
solution back then was to read the bounding polygon from a shapefile and
the
