Matplotlib giving error "OverflowError: In draw_path: Exceeded cell block limit"

Maybe the problem is because matplotlib uses default inline plotting, which means it connects the points. There's some limit to the points for that. But if you remove inline plotting, it might work. Try

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot(x, y, 'ro', linestyle="None")

The 'ro' is for it to show red dots.


The problem is a hardcoded limit in the number of points in the backend Agg.

It can be solved by mpl.rcParams['agg.path.chunksize'] = 10000.

Try using:

import matplotlib as mpl
mpl.rcParams['agg.path.chunksize'] = 10000

or other large value.
