#4248: aspect_ratio is buggy in plot3d
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  jhpalmieri  |       Owner:  somebody            
     Type:  defect      |      Status:  new                 
 Priority:  major       |   Milestone:  sage-3.1.3          
Component:  graphics    |    Keywords:  aspect_ratio, plot3d
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 {{{aspect_ratio}}} doesn't obey its documentation.  If I type
 {{{
 sage: var('x y')
 sage: Q = plot3d(sin(x+y), (-3,3), (-2,2))
 sage: Q.show(aspect_ratio=[1,1,1])
 }}}
 then I get what I expect: the x-, y-, and z-axes are given the same scale,
 so ratio of the length of the x-axis to the length of the y-axis is 3:2.
 But if I do
 {{{
 sage: Q.show(aspect_ratio=[1,1,2])
 }}}
 then suddenly the y-axis goes from -4 to 4, and the ratio of the lengths
 of the x- and y-axes is 3:4 (so the aspect_ratio in the two dimensions x
 and y is [2,1] instead of [1,1]).
