Yes, I saw that in the solution of the other one (and have changed my plots to take this into account), but what is the advantage of the aspect ratio default *not* being 1? I'm very curious. I'm not a mathematician, just a student going through college, so I would love to hear the why behind this.

Hi, The axes are an argument of 'show', for example: show(plot(cos(x), -6, 6), axes=False) type 'show?' to see other options. Alex On 9/20/07, Alex Ghitza <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- > Hash: SHA1 > > Hi, > > I need to plot some simple functions in one va
