I'm pretty sure this is http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/11963, which changed the aspect ratio handling. The default is now 1.0:
sage: Graphics().aspect_ratio() 1.0 If you request 'automatic' then you get a plot of the specified width/height: sage: g.show(figsize=[8,4], aspect_ratio='automatic') I don't have a strong opinion about what the best default aspect_ratio is, but a warning/error if it conflicts with the chosen aspect_ratio seems in order. -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
