Bug summary
Trying to increase the width of the plotting area to a roughly 2 by 1 aspect ratio. I have defined a figsize of (8, 4) accordingly.
Right now (as you can see in the below image), the plotting area is clearly a square region (the white area). Increasing the figsize does increase the area of the plot, but doesn’t give me the aspect ratio i want (always remains a square). I’m using the red color on the figure to show to expanded region, which is currently useless.

Expected outcome
What i actually want is something like this:
Additional information
I basically need this plot to get bigger (especially wider). It’s too small right now, and expanding it too much leaves too much empty room on the top and bottom. I have tried expanding it by zooming in with ax.dist, but that results in clipping when i rotate the image because now the plot is greater than the plotting area (but less than the fig size).
