Unfortunately i have not found such a function as of yet and the function that sound close to it (aspect) only controls the windows aspect ratio
Fortunately there is a quick and dirty work around I have found the following to be useful Assuming you have X Y Z matrices made using meshgrid or some other means from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np fig = plt.figure() ax = Axes3D(fig) u = np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi, 100) v = np.linspace(0, np.pi, 100) x = 10 * np.outer(np.cos(u), np.sin(v)) y = 10 * np.outer(np.sin(u), np.sin(v)) z = 50 * np.outer(np.ones(np.size(u)), np.cos(v)) ax.plot_surface(x, y, z, rstride=4, cstride=4, color='b') Xstart=(x.min()) Xend =(x.max()) Ystart=(y.min()) Zstart=(z.min()) Scalex=(Xend-Xstart) ax.set_xlim3d(Xstart,Xstart+Scale) ax.set_ylim3d(Ystart,Ystart+Scale) ax.set_zlim3d(Zstart,Zstart+Scale) plt.show() again I have made the assumption that the plot is "squarish" in the x and y direction, a more robust version would test to see which is the biggest scalex,scaley,scalez center the other axis value but again i just coded this in 5 min as an example -----Original Message----- From: David Arnold [mailto:dwarnol...@suddenlink.net] Sent: December-07-09 12:30 PM To: matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Matplotlib-users] axis equal All, Is there an "axis equal" command for mplot3d?
