The above issue raises the question of whether the default for aspect ratio handling should be "datalim" instead of "box". The big advantage is that this completely avoids the problem described in the issue, where setting aspect='equal' can result in an unusable aspect ratio in screen coordinates. For one common use of equal aspect--images--it is essential to have the adjustable be "box". I suspect that in most other use cases, "datalim" would be a satisfactory default. The problem with a change like this is how to make the transition without wreaking havoc on existing code. The typical answer is to use an rc parameter, starting with the existing default, and then switching it over in some subsequent release. Any thoughts? Should we leave all this as it is, or try to change it?
