Carol,

That kwarg was eliminated a little less than 2 years ago as part of a 
major reworking of aspect ratio handling.  It never depended on the 
backend.

The kwarg equivalent to fixLimits=True is adjustable='box'.  Quite a bit 
has changed in the last two years, though, so there may be other things 
in your code that need to be updated.
