Hi All, I am currently trying to plot 4 points (but they will be more, in an animated sequence later), and I am trying to use an image as a point marker. I am using the axes transData transform to get the point coordinates from the data world to the display world.
Everything seems to be working OK (i.e., the images are placed correctly close to the plot points); however, as soon as I try to force the axes into an "equal" aspect ratio with this command: ax.set_aspect('equal') Then all the calculations are messed up and the images end up very far from the plot points. I have tried also the approach mentioned in this StackOverflow post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2318288/how-to-use-custom-marker-with-plot But I get the same wrong answer when I set the "equal" aspect ratio for the axes. I am attaching a small sample application which demonstrates the problem, a small "smiley.png" image needed to run the script and two plots generated by my script, one with the "equal" aspect ratio and the other without. I appreciate any suggestion, as I feel I am missing something important... Thank you in advance. Andrea.
