Hello,
I think I've found a documentation bug, but perhaps I just don't know
how to read the documentation. Trac #2132 seems to reflect the same
misunderstanding I had and could perhaps be closed either immediately
or after a change in documentation.
The documentation for show() states that the options include
figsize -- [width, height] (same for square aspect)
This looks for all the world as if P.show(figsize=[200,200]) should
produce a square aspect image of P. On the other hand,
P.show(figsize=(6,6)) *does* show a square aspect image of P.
(1) Should one read [x,y] throughout the documentation as a list [.,.]
of two elements or as a tuple (.,.) of two elements? If a tuple, then
my bad and perhaps Trac #2132 can be closed.
(2) How is one to interpret width & height anyway? It clearly does not
mean pixels, which was my assumption (and probably the assumption of
Trac #2132). Does it mean dpi*width, dpi*height? (A guess from
experimentation.)
(3) From the API documentation, aspect_ratio is also a valid
parameter, but this does not apepar when typing show(). Neither do
some other parameters, which appear useful. Some of them don't appear
to work however: frame and axes come to mind.
thanks
john perry
