Hmm. You're right -- that it is probably what I really want -- but I still don't understand aspect_ratio. Why, if I change aspect_ratio from [1,1,1] to [1,1,2], do the relative scalings of the x- and y-axes change? Shouldn't only the z-axis (relative to x and y) be affected? I guess I find the behavior of aspect_ratio rather unpredictable. With P = sphere() P.show(aspect_ratio=[a,b,c]) it makes sense: the coordinate system, and hence the sphere, is stretched by these factors. However, with the plot that I mentioned in my original post, it seems to behave oddly, as mentioned above: changing from [1,1,1] to [1,1,2] altered the relative scales on the x and y axes. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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 -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
