[Matplotlib-users] axis('equal') and axis('scaled')

[Mark B. <ma...@gm...>]

Regarding the questions of axis('equal') and axis('scaled'), I submitted a=
=20
patch for the axis('equal') command about a month ago that will turn it int=
o=20
the same behavior as matlab. After the axis('equal') command is given, the=
=20
scale on both axes will be equal (such that a circle looks like a circle).=
=20
It has a little demo file with it as well. Hopefully that will be=20
implemented in CVS soon (let me know if I can help here, John),=20

matlab also has a handy axis('tight') command that sets tight limits on the=
=20
axes such that it contains all data tighly; that would be easy to implement=
=20
as well.
