I"m trying to make a square plot (using imshow), i.e. aspect ratio of 1:1, but I can"t. None of these work:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

ax = fig.add_subplot(111,aspect="equal")
ax = fig.add_subplot(111,aspect=1.0)
ax.set_aspect("equal")
plt.axes().set_aspect("equal")

It seems like the calls are just being ignored (a problem I often seem to have with matplotlib).
