Hello,
I would like to (mis-)use matplotlib to draw some things which
are not graphs of functions. For this it would be nice to
be able to fix the aspect ratio of the figure to 1. What is
a good way to do so?
Jochen
Hi there,
I'm not suggesting that this is a good way to to so, but it works (the
last time I tried). Hope this helps.
def setDataAspectRatioByFigSize(ax,r):
"""Same idea as matlab. Adjusts the figure size to fix the aspect
ratio"""
xlim=ax.get_xlim()
dxlim=xlim[1]-xlim[0]
ylim=ax.get_ylim()
dylim=ylim[1]-ylim[0]
pos=ax.get_position()
dxpos=pos[2]
dypos=pos[3]
f=gcf()
figsize=f.get_size_inches()
dxfig=figsize[0]
dyfig=dylim*dxpos*dxfig/r/dypos/dxlim
f.set_figsize_inches(dxfig,dyfig)
def setDataAspectRatioByAxisPos(ax,r):
"""Same idea as matlab. Adjusts the axis position to fix the aspect
ratio"""
xlim=ax.get_xlim()
dxlim=xlim[1]-xlim[0]
ylim=ax.get_ylim()
dylim=ylim[1]-ylim[0]
pos=ax.get_position()
dxpos=pos[2]
dypos=pos[3]
centreypos=pos[1]+0.5*dypos
f=gcf()
figsize=f.get_size_inches()
dxfig=figsize[0]
dyfig=figsize[1]
dypos=dylim*dxpos*dxfig/r/dyfig/dxlim
ax.set_position([pos[0],centreypos-0.5*dypos,dxpos,dypos])
Cheers,
Cory

Thanks, this looks incredibly useful.
I will have a closer look as soon as I find time.
All the best,
