It should work with imshow() as well if you can set the affine component of the transform to the desired values. Which it looks like you can in Affine2D(). (The affine matrix is the elements of TR listed above, it appears.) I have not tried to do this, however -- just saying that I think it's possible. -Andrew ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
