This is good news Eric and sounds like the desired behaviour.
Thanks for letting me know. I was intending to try to work it out this 
weekend but have spent my time instead learning to build 
numpy/scipy/matplotlib from source - a worthwhile exercise. I don't 
think JDH/Charlie should wait for new quiver plots before doing another 
release.

On the scaled down arrows, do you see strange artifacts when viewing at 
certain magnifications? JDH thought this might be due to subpixel 
rendering problems, although I wasn't sure that was the reason. I look 
forward to seeing how the transform stuff works. I found it all a bit 
unfathomable.

thanks,
Gary
