              functionality of matrix_plot

Comment:

 For the examples given, this is nice - I have figured out what the purpose
 in the custom ranges is.

 One trivial typo - in the sine bicubic example, the srange should be -pi
 to pi, not -pi to -pi.

 More weird is the behavior of
 {{{
 sage: matrix_plot(random_matrix(RDF, 2, 2), xrange=(-100,100),
 yrange=(0,1))
 sage: matrix_plot(random_matrix(RDF, 2, 2), xrange=(-.01, .01),
 yrange=(0,1))
 }}}
 which both give extremely narrow plots - because of the aspect_ratio
 scaling technique, maybe?   Anyway, somehow it seems like the idea of a
 custom range is for labelling purposes (and that's a nice feature), not
 necessarily for scaling purposes.  If it's at least partly for labelling
 purposes only, a 2x2 matrix probably shouldn't look like this; an aspect
 ratio of more or less 1 seems most reasonable in that case.
