Comment:

 This ticket is still needs_work.  Remaining items include:

  * Updating docs to reflect changes, including
    * Most aspect ratios now default to 1
    * new/changed options:
      *  fig_tight
      * the new definition of aspect_ratio (= 1/old definition)
      * aspect_ratio_adjustable
  * Make
 [http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/search/opensearch?q=wiki%3AGraphicsArray
 GraphicsArray] work (likely using the nice features of matplotlib in 1.0
 for doing multiple subplots!)

 Warning: this patch changes the definition of aspect_ratio.  Before, it
 was width/height, but now it is height/width.  The new meaning is
 consistent with matplotlib and Mathematica.

 Since the patch now changes a very fundamental thing about Sage (the
 meaning of aspect ratio), it probably should be put off until a major
 release.
