Re: [Matplotlib-users] Scatter plot with a specific size per point

If it's truly an extent, you might be better off drawing polygons of the extent boundaries in the graph's coordinate system -- then things will scale as you desire. This will require digging down a bit into the object API -- make a new matplotlib.collections.PolyCollection (or RegularPolyCollection), and add it to your axes with Axes.add_collection().
