Re: [Matplotlib-users] Can I change pixel aspect with axes_grid

Thanks Eric and JJ,

Both of your answers are solutions to my problem actually.
I spent a while trying to figure this out and didn't get anywhere.
This was an exercise in frustration with matplotlib's documentation.
Thankfully this list and its members are here to save us. I assumed it
was just a simple flag or option I had missed and this turned out to
be the case. I had even tried setting aspect=False when creating my
AxesGrid object and setting aspect="auto", but because I was poking
around in the dark, I must not have set both at the same time. I also
thought I'd seen an example of this somewhere, which is what Eric
pointed out, but even thinking I'd seen it, I couldn't find it again.
I had looked in the gallery but missed the example - looking back at
the gallery now, I think it might be because every other related
example uses the jet colour scheme and it simply didn't register.

regards,
Gary
