[Matplotlib-users] The shape of symbols in some scatter plots.

[Paul B. <ba...@st...>]

I occasionally use the scatter() function to make light curves of 
astronomical targets.  The scale of the x-axis is often given in days 
with a range of 0.54 - 0.68 days.  The y-axis is in counts.  This type 
of data produces unusual scatter plots with the blue symbols being very 
elongated ovals (in the x-direction).

Are there plans to change this behavior - maybe by drawing the symbols 
in device space instead of data or user space?
