axes.set_aspect

Hi Folks,

I have acquired some code that was running on a previous version of matplotlib. I am now using version 0.91.2.

The code I acquired uses the following code fragment:
import pylab
from matplotlib.backends.backend_agg import FigureCanvasAgg as FigureCanvas
  <other stuff>
     figure = matplotlib.pylab.Figure( figsize=(8,6), # 8"x6" is default
                                       facecolor='r' )
     canvas = FigureCanvas( figure )

     # ( left, bottom, width, height )
     axes_ts = figure.add_axes( ( 0.05, 0.0, 0.75, 0.04 ) )
     axes_ts.set_axis_off()

     subplots = []

     axes_ll = figure.add_axes( ( 0.05, 0.05, 0.9, 0.9 ) ) # l, l
     subplots.append( (axes_ll, data_sets[ 0 ]) )

     for subplot in subplots:
         axes = subplot[ 0 ]
         data_set = subplot[ 1 ]
         axes.set_xlim( -1.0, 1.0 )
         axes.set_ylim( -1.0, 1.0 )
         axes.set_aspect( 'equal' , fixLimits=True ) <+++++++
         axes.set_axis_off()
         data_set.render( axes, fm, to )

It seems that axes.set_aspect does not have a keyword of fixLimits. Did it ever? Does it depend on the backend? The original code used GTKAgg. I am not using GTKAgg. I am just using a default backend.

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.
