[sage-devel] plot scale needs to be recomputed for different aspect_ratio

2009-12-19 Thread Henryk Trappmann
Hallo, it seems currently (sage 4.2) that the plot scale is not recomputed when changing the aspect_ratio, but simply graphically resized. This leads to possibly overlapping numbers, and looks somehow squeezed. Example: p = plot(lambda x: 10*x, (0,1)); p.set_aspect_ratio(1); p -- To post to thi

Currently we don't require documentation for __cinit__, __dealloc__ and __new__. Are there any other functions we want to add to that list? I could see an argument for _add_ and other arithmetic functions too. David On Sat, Dec 19, 2009 at 1:41 PM, David Roe wrote: > > > I think that requiring
