It does seem to be a common refrain. :) But, Alex, I don't want to make 100's of plots and see what looks nice. I want sage to use the margins I tell it to use. There's absolutely no aesthetics for sage to care about in my design goal. I, the user, decide the margins and that's the gospel. Now, there very well might be aesthetics questions when the user doesn't specify the margins. But, virtually every time I produce plots I care about the margins and I specify them. I really don't give a hoot what sage does in the case of unspecified margins (well, that's not literally true, but it's output for unspecified margins seems reasonable to me as is.) So, a patch that ensure that margins are never ever modified when the user specifies them with xmin/xmax and ymin/ymax would be accepted? -- Joel --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
