Hi,

When removing frame from a figure (as seaborn use to do for instance), the figure is cropped at extrema (see below).

• Matplotlib version: 1.5.1
• How did you install Matplotlib and Python (pip, anaconda, from source ...) : pip
• SSCE:

Note that I increased the linewidth just to enhance the effect and that it could be well noticed. However, there is a similar issue with the default linewidth.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

x = np.linspace(-10, 10, 10000)
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot(x, [np.sin(i) for i in x], linewidth=3)
ax.axis('off')
fig.show()

• If this is an image generation bug attach a screenshot demonstrating the issue.

Thanks
