Hi all, I want to implement a web map server (WMS) using matplotlib/basemap. The client of WMS does specify the bounding box in lon/lat and width and height of the image. The spec requires that the server produces such images without blank spaces around the image. The image might thus have a wrong aspect ratio and it is up to the client of the WMS to display the image correctly.
I ran in exactly the same problem as described here: http://www.nabble.com/fill-entire-figure-area---DONT-maintain-aspect-ratio-td22365115.html But I found as work around to this problem. If the aspect ratio of the axis is set to auto (ax.set_aspect("auto")) before the figure is saved, then one obtains a stretched figure (as required). Is this a proper solution, are just a trick that will probably no longer work in future version of basemap? I'm asking because the previous emails on this issue indicate that basemap is intended to produce always images in the correct aspect ratio.
