Andrew,
I have committed another revision of the aspect-ratio handling. It seems to work pretty well, and I think pan/zoom work in a reasonable fashion now. Many times in the past, however, I have thought that aspect-ratio handling was working adequately, and every time someone has found a major bug. This time is probably no exception.
There can be some anomalies when the window is resized quickly--that is, grabbing a window corner and slinging it around with axis('equal') can cause some incorrect choices of the view limits. I haven't figured out why. Although I certainly would like to understand and fix it, it is not a top priority at the moment because I don't think it is a major problem in practice.

I'm having trouble with axis('equal') myself -- I'm happy to take a
lookin the source, but maybe it's a simple and easy bug. The issue I'm
having is readily apparent with examples/axis_equal_demo.py --
using the
pan/zoom mode and holding the right-mouse button down to zoom, I
noticeseveral issues:1) moving left-and-right seems to affect the position, not the zoom
level2) moving up seems to zoom in (as expected)
3) moving down zooms out as expected, but past a certain point,
only the
vertical axis gets re-scaled and breaking the equal-aspect.Eric Firing wrote:
