[Matplotlib-users] set axis square?

[Dominique O. <Dom...@po...>]

Sorry if this is a silly question; i couldn't find the answer in the 
source files or the mailing list archive.

I am using matplotlib 0-60.2. Is there an equivalent in matplotlib to 
the matlab command 'axis square', to set the aspect ratio to 1? More 
generally, can i set the aspect ratio to any ratio i like? I am 
interested in this for plot() and scatter().

Thanks !
Dominique
