Hello, I am using PyPlot and I cannot figure out how to change the aspect ratio of a plot. I googled for some answers and I found a thread from Python users about aspect ratios in Matplotlib:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7965743/how-can-i-set-the-aspect-ratio-in-matplotlib I am trying to make sense of that thread, and imagine how to do something similar in Julia, but so far my attempts have failed. The closest I got is to make a "subplot", but I don't know how to plot inside a subplot. Here is what I tried: julia> using PyPlot INFO: Loading help data... julia> aspect ERROR: aspect not defined julia> ax = axes() PyObject <matplotlib.axes.AxesSubplot object at 0x7f5c378fc4d0> julia> methods(ax) ERROR: `methods` has no method matching methods(::PyObject) julia> fig = figure(2) Figure(PyObject <matplotlib.figure.Figure object at 0x7f5c376cda10>) julia> methods(fig) ERROR: `methods` has no method matching methods(::Figure) julia> subplot(111, aspect=3) PyObject <matplotlib.axes.AxesSubplot object at 0x7f5c376d3090> AHA! So the last line correctly creates a plot with the desired aspect ratio. But I don't know where to go from there. The moment I try to plot anything, the aspect ratio resets. I do have the basic idea of how subplots work: -------------------------- using PyPlot x = linspace(0,2pi); subplot(211) plot(x,sin(x)) subplot(212) plot(x,cos(x)) -------------------------- So I was expecting to be able to do this: -------------------------- using PyPlot x = linspace(0,2pi); subplot(111, aspect=3) plot(x,sin(x)) -------------------------- I was expecting that this would give me a plot that looks like a very tall sine wave. But it doesn't. The moment I run the plot() command, the aspect ratio resets. Can anyone help me? Cheers, Daniel.
