New description:
We have two concepts of "aspect ratio" that we'd like to expose to the
user.
This patch exposes the following behavior:
{{{
* Figure aspect ratio -- controls the final image size, including any
text labels, etc. This will be set using the following options:
o figsize
+ single number - use this as a base size for the width of
the figure canvas
+ two numbers - an actual figure size in inches
+ None - use the default size in Matplotlib
o fit_tight
+ if True, clip or extend the resulting figure to the plot
objects (so the resulting figure will probably not have figsize dimensions
+ if False, the resulting figure has exactly figsize
dimensions, but items in the plot may be clipped or there may be excessive
padding around drawn objects
* Pixel aspect ratio
o aspect_ratio -- the ratio height/width for a unit square
+ 1 -- a unit square appears to have equal height and
width. This will be the default for Graphics objects (so if a default is
not explicitly set, the default is this.)
+ 'auto' -- plot the given data limits in the given (or
computed) figsize, filling the figure (default for plot and list_plot)
+ number -- ratio of height to width.
}}}
