Richard,
Good question. I have never thought about such a feature for mplot3d.
Looking back at the code, it does not appear to be feasible to do in its
current state, as the code seems to assume that the 3d grid is a constructed
from a unit cube. However, I will see if I can add aspect multipliers to
the point calculation and get arbitrary aspects. Maybe I can get that
feature added into the upcoming 1.1.0 release.
