imshow weirdness

I’m getting weird default behavior from imshow. Namely, the extent
doesn’t seem correct with aspect=‘preserve’. I think this was the subject
of this post:

in imshow with aspect=“preserve”?

to which John replied thanks for reminding. In any case the following
code shows the problem.

data = ones((5,5))

x=imshow(data, cm.jet, aspect=‘preserve’)

#axis(‘off’)

show()

The output doesn’t look correct to me. If you use axis(‘off’) the right
side white padding disappears, but the image still isn’t centered
correctly.

thanks,

Danny

You might want to look at matshow(), which I wrote more or less to give reasonable behavior in the case of matrix displays with the same visual aspect ratio as the row/column one of the array (along with other tweaks).
